Australian Missile Corporation (AMC) has announced it has signed Titomic and TAE Aerospace as new members of the collaboration. AMC was started by NIOA to establish a collaboration of leading Australian companies as the core of the guided weapons enterprise. This team will deliver sovereign manufacturing capability and enabling services to whatever guided weapon family is chosen by the Australian government for domestic manufacture. It will be available for all guided weapons OEMs as a pre-positioned and ready Australian capability, growing its capability and expertise through a focused program of support and workshare.
Titomic is an Australian public company specialising in industrial-scale metal additive manufacturing using its patented Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) technology. With this unique technology, Titomic provides new, unmatched capabilities to create bespoke, multi-metal parts that are lighter and stronger, faster than ever before. This process utilises high-performance metal alloys – including titanium – to create commercially viable, high-performance metal parts which compete directly with traditional manufacturing methods.
