Marking five years of innovation, Taniobis' Amtrinsic powder has redefined additive manufacturing with its exceptional properties. Developed from tantalum and niobium alloys, the product supports high-performance applications in aerospace, medical technology, and chemical engineering, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and sustainability.

Taniobis, a global producer of tantalum and niobium materials, is marking the fifth anniversary of its Amtrinsic powder, a product specifically developed for additive manufacturing. Introduced in 2019, Amtrinsic integrates the exceptional properties of tantalum and niobium alloys with the flexibility of 3D printing, enabling innovation across industries such as aerospace, medical technology and chemical engineering.

Amtrinsic powders are recognized for their high-temperature resistance and corrosion resilience, making them ideal for critical and high-performance applications. “The gas-atomized spherical powders in Amtrinsic allow for intricate designs and reliable performance,” said Katarzyna Kosowski, Head of Corporate Communications at Taniobis. These properties have enabled its use in biocompatible medical implants, high-temperature aerospace components, and corrosion-resistant chemical equipment.

The success of Amtrinsic stems from partnerships with academic and industry collaborators, including the Laser Zentrum Hannover and the Medical University of Hanover. These collaborations were crucial in overcoming the challenges associated with processing tantalum and niobium, which have high melting points.

“Our collaborative approach allowed us to optimize the material for additive manufacturing,” explained Stefan Richardt, Technical Sales Manager for Additive Manufacturing.

Amtrinsic has demonstrated its versatility across various industries. In aerospace, it is used to manufacture satellite thrusters that demand durability and high-temperature resistance. The chemical industry benefits from its corrosion-resistant properties, while the medical sector employs Amtrinsic for biocompatible implants.

“Additive manufacturing with Amtrinsic also minimizes material waste, enhancing its sustainability credentials,” Richardt noted.

Taniobis has strategically positioned Amtrinsic as a cutting-edge material for additive manufacturing. The product’s name reflects its focus on additive manufacturing and the intrinsic properties of tantalum and niobium. The tagline, “Powders that push the limits,” highlights its innovative potential.

Participation in trade events like Formnext in Germany and Rapid/TCT in the USA has been central to Taniobis’ efforts to promote Amtrinsic. “These platforms have been instrumental in connecting with industry stakeholders,” Kosowski said.

Taniobis anticipates growing demand for specialized materials like Amtrinsic as industries such as aerospace, medical devices, and superconductors continue to evolve. The company remains committed to advancing additive manufacturing technologies through ongoing research and development.

“The unique properties of our powders align with current industry trends and requirements,” Richardt said. “We are committed to supporting advancements in additive manufacturing with solutions that address these needs.”
