Carpenter Technology Corporation has announced the formation of its Carpenter Additive business unit, to further build on its reputation as an established supplier of metal powders and become an influential player in the additive-manufacturing (AM) industry.

Carpenter Additive’s capabilities span the entire AM process, including: highly engineered gas-atomised powders; metal powder lifecycle management solutions; finished-component production capabilities; integrated AM and R&D facilities focused on innovation and technical solutions for customers; and industrial-scale AM and full post-processing capabilities.

CEO Tony Thene said: “From powder production to manufacturing and finishing parts, the full spectrum of our capabilities is what differentiates Carpenter Additive from the rest of the AM industry.

“We are ‘revolutionising’ how customers approach this disruptive technology by offering end-to-end solutions through an array of technical expertise, powder production, parts production, and material lifecycle management.

“We are working with our customers and driving industry-wide change.”

Founded in 1889, Carpenter Technology has evolved to become a pioneer in premium specialty alloys, including titanium, nickel and cobalt, as well as alloys specifically engineered for additive-manufacturing processes and soft magnetics applications.
