Farsoon Uses Industrial Metal 3D Printing to Manufacture Titanium Exhaust System for Apollo Evo

2026-11-09

On November 9, Farsoon Europe partnered with Apollo Automobil to develop and mass-produce a titanium alloy exhaust system (exhaust pipes and tailpipes) for the Apollo Evo supercar. The parts were printed on an FS811M-6 laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machine using TA15 titanium alloy with a high-productivity parameter set, making it one of the largest additively manufactured titanium exhaust systems for road vehicles. This adds another case of scaled application of titanium powder and titanium alloy LPBF in consumer automotive components. Value for buyers: mass production of automotive-grade titanium alloy exhaust systems means batch consumption of titanium powders such as TA15 in consumer-grade components, and titanium powder suppliers can watch for new application growth in the automotive sector.

Tungsten Price Surge Creates Opportunities for Small Australian Miners

On November 10, tight tungsten supply in Western markets continued to push prices higher, with tungsten prices rising tenfold within a year to more than USD 3,000 per metric ton unit. EQ Resources, an ASX-listed tungsten company, saw its market capitalization climb from AUD 110 million to AUD 1.33 billion, and an investment vehicle owned by Forrest acquired a 16.8% stake in the company. Tungsten Mining and others are advancing mine development in Queensland and Western Australia. China accounts for about 85% of global tungsten supply and continues to tighten exports, making cost pressure on tungsten powder and hardmetals difficult to resolve in the short term. Buyer value: the tenfold rise in tungsten prices directly increases procurement costs for tungsten powder and hardmetals, and downstream cutting tool and wear-part companies need to assess price pass-through and domestic supply security arrangements.

Anhui Zhongti New Materials Secures Authorization from Bright Laser Technologies for Domestic Contract Manufacturing and Overseas Sales of BLT-AlAM400 High-Performance Aluminum Alloy Powder

On November 10, Anhui Zhongti New Materials reached a technical cooperation agreement with Bright Laser Technologies (BLT), a leading metal additive manufacturing company: it has obtained authorization for contract manufacturing within China and overseas sales of BLT's BLT-AlAM400 high-performance aluminum alloy powder. This authorization is exclusive to Zhongti New Materials outside of BLT and its regional distributors, marking the implementation of a "technology licensing plus exclusive agency" cooperation model on the aluminum powder materials side and sending a clear signal of channel consolidation for domestically produced high-performance aluminum powder. Value for buyers: with contract manufacturing of BLT-AlAM400, domestic channel supply capacity is strengthened, and aluminum alloy powder buyers gain an additional authorized channel beyond BLT's direct supply, expanding their options in terms of price and lead time.

Amaero Q3 Report: Q3 Revenue of $4.1 Million, Up 35% Year-on-Year; U.S. Department of War Refractory Alloy Powder Contributes $4.4 Million in Backlog

On November 10, U.S.-listed company Amaero (Nasdaq: AMRO) released its third-quarter 2026 financial results: Q3 revenue was $4.1 million, up 35% year-on-year, of which metal powder revenue was $3.2 million, up 19% year-on-year; revenue for the first three quarters was $11.5 million, up 170% year-on-year. As of September 30, backlog stood at $13.4 million, up 180% year-on-year, of which $4.4 million came from a U.S. Department of War (DoW) refractory alloy powder development contract. The project was signed in July this year with a value of $4.5 million to develop refractory alloy powders that can replace hafnium-containing alloys such as C103 and reduce foreign dependence; the program period is 13 months and is expected to be completed by August 2027. The company issued Q4 revenue guidance of $4.5 million to $5.0 million and full-year guidance of $16.0 million to $16.5 million. Defense refractory alloy powder orders have become the foundation of the backlog, signaling a ramp-up in overseas defense powder procurement. Buyer value: U.S. defense refractory alloy powder (niobium, tantalum, etc.) orders are being released in concentrated volumes; domestic refractory powder manufacturers can track Amaero's contract progress and changes in U.S. supply policy toward Chinese refractory materials.
