According to reports from Panda3dp.com, Zhongti New Materials, a leading domestic manufacturer of 3D printing metal powders, has successfully scaled up the production of recycled titanium alloy powder, achieving mass shipments. This milestone not only marks a significant step forward in the company’s commitment to green and sustainable development but also injects fresh momentum into cost reduction and efficiency improvements across industries such as consumer electronics, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing. Furthermore, this achievement will enhance the company’s presence at the upcoming TCT Asia 2025 in Shanghai.
100% Recycled Titanium Alloy Powder: Superior Performance with Environmental Benefits Zhongti New Materials remains steadfast in its commitment to material innovation, focusing on developing recycled materials to establish a closed-loop 3D printing ecosystem. The company is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions, enhancing ESG governance, and driving sustainable progress.
In September 2023, Zhongti New Materials earned SCS certification for its 100% recycled titanium alloy materials. By employing cutting-edge recycling technologies, the company transforms titanium alloy waste into high-quality feedstock for additive manufacturing, successfully achieving a fully circular material lifecycle. Its fully recycled Ti6Al4V alloy powder boasts high sphericity, excellent flowability, and outstanding mechanical properties, with an oxygen content below 0.13% and a flowability rating of ≤45s/50g. The material demonstrates remarkable tensile strength of up to 1150 MPa, coupled with low density, high strength, and superior corrosion resistance. Thanks to rigorous quality control and advanced processing, its performance is on par with that of virgin powder. This environmentally friendly recycling process significantly minimizes resource waste, reducing carbon emissions to just one-tenth of conventional manufacturing methods, offering customers a more economical and sustainable solution—particularly favored by enterprises with stringent ESG requirements.
Expanded Production Capacity and Mass Shipments, Enabling Multi-Industry Applications Zhongti New Materials' recycled titanium alloy powder has already been successfully deployed in the consumer electronics sector, with the company securing bulk supply agreements with several renowned domestic and international enterprises. As leading manufacturers accelerate their adoption of titanium alloy for smartphones and wearable devices, large-scale material supply will substantially lower the cost of end products, promoting the widespread use of titanium alloys in the 3C industry. Simultaneously, applications in aerospace and automotive sectors are steadily advancing, demonstrating the material’s high strength and stability.
To meet the rising market demand, Zhongti New Materials is actively expanding its production capacity. The construction of its third-phase facility, dedicated to large-scale 3D printing titanium alloy powder recycling, has been completed. By the end of 2025, the company’s annual production capacity for Ti6Al4V alloy powder is expected to reach 700 tons, with over 50 production lines slated for completion by 2026. Equipped with dedicated cleanrooms and a digitalized smart platform for full-process monitoring and quality control, Zhongti New Materials ensures the superior quality and stability of its products.
Innovation-Driven, Diverse Product Portfolio, and Multi-Technology Deployment
Powered by technological innovation, Zhongti New Materials has developed proprietary AMP powder production lines and employs a range of advanced powdering techniques, including Vacuum Inert Gas Atomization (VIGA), Plasma Spheroidization (PS), and Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP). To date, the company has established more than 20 metal powder production lines and has built an efficient, comprehensive new material R&D process—from material composition design to powder preparation, printing validation, and multi-dimensional performance testing.
With an extensive portfolio covering titanium, aluminum, copper, nickel, iron alloys, precious metals, and refractory metals, Zhongti New Materials continues to propel the additive manufacturing industry toward higher efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Exhibition Participation and Future Outlook
At the 2025 TCT Asia exhibition, Zhongti New Materials (Booth 7E55) extends a warm invitation to global partners to join them in Shanghai, where they will showcase the latest advancements in metal powder for additive manufacturing and explore the transformative power of metal powder materials.
