  • The future of Metal Additive Manufacturing is being shaped right now and our team is in the room! This is exactly the kind of knowledge-sharing that drives innovation forward.

    Delighted to represent Tekna (OSE:TEKNA) at the International Metal Additive Manufacturing conference organised by Cetim - Centre technique des industries mécaniques at Senlis, France. The quality of presentations, shared know-how and enthusiasm expressed during exchanges confirm the strong AM position in France, particularly in Aerospace and Defense sectors. Two full days embedded with high-level keynotes and deep-dive technical sessions. What a great and enriching experience! Thank you Benoit Verquin and all CETIM’s team for the invitation to be part of it. #AdditiveManufacturing #TEKNA #Powders #Excellence #France

  • We've teamed up with Renishaw Additive Manufacturing to redefine what's possible with titanium additive manufacturing. 🚀 Read the full case study:

    Major advancement in metal additive manufacturing (AM). 💥 Our collaboration with Tekna (OSE:TEKNA) has delivered a large-cut Ti64 powder solution that boosts productivity, reduces cost and enhances sustainability. ✅ Higher layer thickness (90 μm and above) for faster builds. ✅ Lower powder cost per part, making titanium AM more accessible. ✅ Improved powder handling: fewer safety/logistics constraints thanks to large-cut material. ✅ Seamless integration with our systems thanks to rigorous parameter optimisation and qualification. For manufacturers in aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors who are ready to scale metal AM, this is a game-changer. Explore the full story, download the case study and see how we’re transforming titanium additive workflows: https://okt.to/F0ZHCj #AdditiveManufacturing #MetalAM #Titanium #Ti64 #RenishawAM #ManufacturingInnovation #Industry40

  • Behind every breakthrough is a great collaboration ! 🔬 Tekna and FARSOON Europe GmbH have been working side by side to prove that coarse Ti-6Al-4V powders can meet industrial standards for PBF-LB manufacturing — making titanium AM safer, faster, and more cost-effective. We are proud of what we are building together !💥 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eaAGZAHn #Partnership #Titanium #AdditiveManufacturing #MetalAM

    Can titanium PBF-LB become significantly more productive?   Farsoon Europe and Tekna are strengthening their collaboration to industrialize the use of coarse Ti-6Al-4V powders for laser powder bed fusion.   Testing on Farsoon’s FS273M-2 and FS721M-H-8-CAMS systems shows that processing with 90 µm layer thickness can maintain Ti64 mechanical properties aligned with standard PBF-LB benchmarks while increasing build productivity.   Together with Tekna’s plasma-atomized TEKMAT™ powders, this approach enables:   • safer powder handling • higher build rates • lower cost per part   Combined with Farsoon’s shaped beam technology, the theoretical build rate per laser can increase by more than 80% compared to conventional Gaussian beam processing.   A step toward scaling titanium additive manufacturing from prototyping to industrial serial production.   Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/d5easZZA   #AdditiveManufacturing #MetalAM #PBF #Titanium #Ti64 #3DPrinting #AMInnovation #IndustrialAM

  • 🚀 Who's actually testing high-temp composites for hypersonic and space applications? Not the manufacturers — their customers are ! At Tekna, we make sure those tests happen in conditions that truly matter. Our plasma wind tunnels replicate hypersonic flight and atmosphere reentry — so you know exactly how your materials will perform when it counts. #Composites #Hypersonic #SpaceTech #PlasmaWindTunnel #MaterialsTesting #AerospaceMaterials

  • From the first particle to the 1,000,000th kilogram of titanium. 💥 Ten years ago, our team took on the challenge of developing our titanium atomization process. It required dedication, long hours, problem-solving, and true teamwork. In 2015, industrial production officially began with one system and one shift. Within months, operations scaled to 24/7. Step by step, year after year, the team kept building. Reaching 1,000,000 kg is not just a production milestone. It reflects a decade of resilience, growth, and commitment to doing things right. We are proud of our R&D team who built the foundation, our Quality team who secured world-class certifications, and our Operations team who run complex systems every day with precision and discipline. This milestone belongs to the people behind it. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   De la première particule au 1 000 000e kilogramme de titane. 💥 Il y a dix ans, notre équipe a relevé le défi de développer notre procédé d’atomisation du titane. Cela a demandé de la rigueur, de longues heures de travail, de la persévérance et un véritable esprit d’équipe. En 2015, la production industrielle a officiellement débuté avec un seul système et un seul quart de travail. En quelques mois, les opérations sont passées en production 24/7. Étape par étape, année après année, l’équipe a continué à bâtir. Atteindre 1 000 000 kg n’est pas seulement un jalon de production. C’est le reflet de dix années de résilience, de croissance et d’engagement à bien faire les choses. Nous sommes fiers de notre équipe R&D qui a posé les bases, de notre équipe Qualité qui a obtenu des certifications de calibre mondial, et de notre équipe Opérations qui fait fonctionner des systèmes complexes chaque jour avec précision et discipline. Ce jalon appartient aux personnes qui l’ont rendu possible. Merci à tous ceux et celles qui ont fait partie de cette aventure.   #Titanium #AdvancedMaterials #Aerospace #AdditiveManufacturing #Teamwork
