Australian company Titomic Limited has received an order from Iowa State University for its Titomic 623 ISB-11 system, an integrated cold spray booth platform. The equipment will enable students and researchers to work on materials research, coating development, and additive manufacturing applications, combining medium-pressure spraying with material handling and powder extraction.
Booth ready to operate in research environments 🧪
The ISB-11 platform is designed to be a complete, ready-to-use solution. It integrates medium-pressure cold spray capability with material handling and powder extraction systems, making it suitable for both academic laboratories and industrial environments. This modular approach allows users to focus on coating development and manufacturing processes without having to build infrastructure from scratch, facilitating applied research.
Students can now stick powder at high speed 🚀
The University of Iowa is preparing to receive a machine that basically shoots metal particles at supersonic speeds onto surfaces. Students will be able to experiment with coatings and repairs without the need for extreme heat, which is always a plus when someone forgets to turn off the equipment. Of course, lab practices might include an optional module on how not to shoot powder at your fingers.
