the AM order from A&D

posted on May 20, 2022 02:51PM

I'm guessing this order from Albert & Duvall is for a different market from the order disclosed on 26 May 2021 : https://ir.pyrogenesis.com/news-releases/news-release-details/pyrogenesis-successfully-ships-first-commercial-samples-additive

That was called a commercial sample and it was for the aerospace industry.

The NexGen line makes powder at 25Kg/hr : https://ir.pyrogenesis.com/news-releases/news-release-details/pyrogenesis-announces-completion-additive-manufacturing-nexgentm

So this wouldn't have taken more than 4 hrs to make.

Assuming no process losses, a 100 Kg order can make 1 item weighing 100 Kg, or 5 items weighing 20 Kg each, or.....

Airplanes don't have structural components weighing just 100 Kg. My absolutely wild guess is that the order is to make 3D printed drones :-). There's a big demand for them in north eastern europe these days.
