6K Inc.’s platform technology allows the opportunity to address vital needs in two distinct markets – Additive Manufacturing and Battery Materials.
6K has a unique position, servicing the Additive Manufacturing industry for both Aerospace and Medical 3D printing with a scrap to premium powder transformation at low cost and little waste. This creates sustainability and security for government divisions, particularly the Department of Defense with boneyards, naval ships, jet fighters all having urgent needs for this capability.
Battery development for the next generation of material is challenging – cost and performance being the drivers. Utilizing the same core technology as for Additive Manufacturing, 6K can address battery solutions that others cannot, as well as producing traditional materials in the NMC space. The Department of Energy has a strong focus on these efforts.
6K Inc, located North of Boston in a 17,000sf facility, houses 6 UniMelt plasma systems ranging from small R & D to full scale pilot production units. This technology has the capability to target multiple markets with a broad range of materials.
In addition to the Massachusetts location, 6K Additive has a 4-acre campus in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania that produces Titanium powders and alloys in an ISO9000 facility.
6K, Inc. based in North Andover, MA – is a high-tech start-up focused on the production of materials for applications involving additive manufacturing, LED lighting and displays, lithium-ion batteries and semiconductor polishing, among others.
