Regulatory News:

Arcam AB (STO:ARCM), listed on NASDAQ Stockholm, and leading supplier of Additive Manufacturing technology, announces that its powder subsidiary AP&C in Montreal, Canada, has put into service its third reactor, adding significant capacity to its titanium powder manufacturing operation.

AP&C, the high quality powder manufacturing subsidiary of Arcam, has completed the start-up of its third atomization reactor. AP&C uses proprietary technology for Plasma Atomization and designed and manufactured its third atomization reactor with a new state-of-the-art process control system. With this new investment, AP&C now has two production lines, encompassing reactors and related sieving and mixing equipment, fully dedicated to titanium products. A third reactor is dedicated to Inconel and other alloys. After the expansion AP&C has an atomization capacity of over 150 tons of titanium alloys per year.
