Titomic teams up with NASA to test advanced manufacturing technology

Key Highlights

• Titomic enters Space Act Agreement with NASA for component testing
• Cold spray manufacturing technology to be evaluated for aerospace applications
• Collaboration could open future aerospace and defense opportunities
• Shares traded near A$22 with strong volumes
  
   

Titomic Ltd (ASX: TTT) has announced a Space Act Agreement with NASA to test aerospace components produced using its proprietary cold spray additive manufacturing technology, marking an important step in validating the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities for the global space sector.

The agreement focuses on technical evaluation and data sharing, allowing NASA to assess the performance of Titomic-manufactured parts under aerospace conditions. If successful, the collaboration could create pathways for future supply and joint development opportunities in space and defense manufacturing. According to the company, the partnership highlights growing interest in additive manufacturing technologies that can produce strong, lightweight components without the need for melting metals. 

Chief Executive Officer Jim Simpson said the company is “honored to work with NASA on the evaluation of our cold spray manufactured components,” adding that the technology enables the production of high-performance parts suitable for demanding aerospace environments. 

Titomic shares saw active trading following the announcement, with the stock hovering around A$22 during the session after touching an intraday high of A$24, reflecting renewed market interest as the company expands its aerospace footprint.

Why the technology matters

Titomic’s cold spray manufacturing platform, known as Titomic Kinetic Fusion, differs from traditional additive manufacturing by depositing metal particles at high velocity without melting them. This allows components to maintain their original material properties while enabling faster repairs and the manufacturing of large or complex structures. For aerospace and defense industries, where component reliability is essential, such capabilities can reduce maintenance downtime and improve operational readiness.

The agreement also reflects a broader trend in the aerospace sector, where agencies and manufacturers are increasingly exploring advanced manufacturing techniques to reduce costs, shorten production timelines, and improve material performance. Partnerships involving research testing rather than immediate procurement are often early indicators of technology validation pathways that can eventually lead to commercial adoption.

Titomic’s strategy of positioning its cold spray technology across aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial sectors, where rapid manufacturing and repair of high-performance components is becoming increasingly important. The coming months will likely focus on the outcomes of NASA’s technical assessments, which could determine whether the collaboration expands into deeper joint development or supply programs.
