Ontario-based materials engineering firm Equispheres brought in a good amount of investment funding in 2020 to help scale production of its metal 3D printing powder, which it creates using a patent-pending atomization technology that can make spherical metal powder specifically for AM. Now the company is partnering with Aconity3D, a systems provider for flexible, custom metal 3D printers, to achieve faster print speeds for part production by pairing its aluminum powder with Aconity3D’s 1 kW MIDI 3D printing system.
