6K Additive secures deal worth over US$8 million to supply Nickel 718 to ADDMAN for 30 months
The company manufactures metal powders specifically for the 3D printing industry. Their materials are used in mission-critical applications, including hypersonic space exploration, jet engine combustion components, and medical implants.
6K Additive Inc. (ASX: 6KA) has signed a 30-month long-term agreement to supply Nickel 718 alloy powder to US advanced manufacturer ADDMAN Engineering
6K Additive (ASX:6KA)
Under the agreement, 6K Additive will supply high-performance Nickel 718 alloy powders to support ADDMAN's expanding production requirements in the aerospace, defense and energy sectors. The supply is backed by dedicated stocking support.
The deal also creates a circular supply chain. 6K Additive will buy revert powder from ADDMAN and convert it into new, high-purity powder using its proprietary UniMelt® microwave plasma system. By combining its UniMelt microwave plasma system with proprietary processes, 6K Additive has developed a world-first technology capable of converting revert, such as used powder, into premium spherical metal powders, including titanium, nickel, and refractory metals. This domestic production capability reduces reliance on foreign supply chains and supports the material integrity required for mission-critical applications within sensitive industries such as defense.
“At ADDMAN, we push the boundaries of what’s possible in manufacturing, which requires partners like 6K Additive who are equally committed to excellence and innovation,” said Deven Suthar, COO of ADDMAN. “Our relationship with 6K Additive strengthens our ability to deliver high-performance components for critical aerospace, defense, and energy applications while supporting a more efficient and sustainable approach to powder lifecycle management.”
“This agreement is a natural evolution of the long-standing relationship and trust between our two organizations,” said Frank Roberts, CEO and Managing Director of 6K Additive. “By transforming ADDMAN’s revert into high-performance metal powder, we’re demonstrating that up-cycled feedstock can deliver the quality required for demanding additive manufacturing applications. Our process produces highly spherical powder that supports repeatable printing, improved part quality, and reliable mechanical performance. At the same time, we’re aligned with the nation’s priorities by keeping critical materials within the U.S. supply chain and lowering total cost of ownership for the end-user through our powder buy-back program. This is a powerful model for resilient, domestic advanced manufacturing.”
The framework also gives the two companies opportunities to collaborate on additional business as demand develops.
