PyroGenesis Canada Inc., a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, has announced that it has created a new division under the name of “PyroGenesis Additive”, dedicated solely to PyroGenesis’ additive manufacturing business line.
PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization, using this process to produce very small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders, and which are highly sought after in the additive manufacturing (“AM”) Industry.
In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately CAD $2 million in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which led not only to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the AM Industry.
