AP&C installs 4th and 5th atomization reactors

Arcam AB, listed on NASDAQ Stockholm, and leading supplier of Additive
Manufacturing solutions, announces that its metal powder subsidiary, AP&C, based
in Montreal, Canada, is building its fourth and fifth reactors, adding
significant capacity to its titanium and nickel super-alloy powder manufacturing
operation.
AP&C, the high quality powder manufacturing subsidiary of Arcam, uses
proprietary technology for Plasma Atomization. AP&C is continuously developing
its technology and the latest advance, increased atomization rates and yield,
allows higher manufacturing rates of powder distributions dedicated for Additive
Manufacturing equipment.

“The need for high end titanium powder is driven by the fast growth and adoption
of Additive Manufacturing. Arcam is determined to serve the industry through
cost efficient solutions thus converting traditional manufacturing into Additive
Manufacturing.
A requisite is to offer the highest quality powder for production at competitive
cost”,
