ATI Inc. ATI has commissioned its world-class Additive Manufacturing Products facility in Margate, FL. This greenfield project brings online the most advanced large-format, metal additive-manufacturing capabilities in the industry by vertically integrating design, printing, heat treating, machining and inspection capabilities under one roof.

The operations are backed by ATI’s decade of additive-manufacturing expertise, making it capable of printing the tallest parts in the western world, up to 1.5 meters in geometries which was previously not possible. This facility will bring together materials science and forging expertise with additive manufacturing production acumen, delivering high-quality production at scale. The quality control system has ensured that the products meet both ISO 9001 and AS9100D. ATI secured its first contract for producing highly engineered part solutions in support of the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program from Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. 

To celebrate the opening along with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees toured the 132,000-square-foot facility to see the advanced manufacturing operations in action, including laser powder bed fusion printing. Additive manufacturing provides ATI with the ability to make high-performance, highly complex components for its customers faster, with less waste.
