Arcam continues to invest in capacity at AP&C, builds new powder manufacturing plant


Arcam AB, listed on NASDAQ Stockholm and a leading supplier of Additive
Manufacturing (“AM”) equipment, announces that its powder manufacturing
subsidiary AP&C in Montreal, Canada, continues to add significant capacity by
building a new powder manufacturing plant.
The new facility will provide manufacturing redundancy, short term capacity
increase and long term expansion capability. The new capacity increase follows
on significant growth in 2015 and 2016 and a surge in demand for AP&C’s high
quality titanium powders for additive manufacturing. AP&C’s Plasma technology
converts efficiently raw material to powder with excellent key properties such
as flowability, density, chemistry and traceability. With the present capacity
and planned build-out AP&C will reach an atomizing capacity of at least 750 tons
per year.

“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 highest quality powder for production at competitive
cost”,
says Magnus René, CEO of Arcam.

 “With this investment we are committing to supply our present and future
customers with superior quality materials to meet the high manufacturing
standards of the biomedical and aerospace industries. With the powder plant and
atomizing technology advancements, AP&C will add significant capacity in 2017
and onwards”,
says Alain Dupont, President of AP&C.
