Hi Peter,
I saw your interview with George from Agoracom the other day and it was great! Among the many interesting things that were said, I'm especially happy to hear that the AM powder production line is nearing completion, and look forward to future updates about this division. This brings me to my questions :
1) The NexGen system has previously been described as having the ability to produce metal powders with a narrow particle size distribution, and also to shift the bulk PSD to match the powder size required by the Client. Does the process still retain these features, even with the increase in production rates to over 25 kg/h?
2) While the AM industry is the main focus for PyrogenesisAdditive's metal powder production, do you also expect interest from the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) market?
3) In the event of larger than expected demand for PyrogenesisAdditive's Titanium powders, is there an industrialization plan in place for expansion of production capacity?
4) Has the COVID crisis in any way affected OEMs' interest in your upcoming Titanium powder offerings? I would imagine the NexGen's ability to produce high-quality Ti powders at lower cost would appeal to companies who, in addition to looking to secure their powder supply chain, want to further reduce costs, especially given current economic conditions.
Cheers to you and the team @ PYR on a great year, and very well deserved. Stay safe.
Regards,
