Applications Of Titanium Material In New Industrial Fields


1. 3D Printed Titanium Alloy Bicycle Frame 

Renishaw, the only metal additive manufacturing company in the UK, collaborated with Empire Cycles, a British bicycle design manufacturer, to produce a 3D-printed metal frame, using titanium alloy as printing consumables. Thanks to topology optimization technology, the frame is not only stronger, but also lighter, weighing a third less than normal materials. In the production process of the frame, the shape can be adjusted at any time, and more customizable, each batch of products can be adjusted.

The No.1 designed by Paul Budnitz is mostly made of titanium alloy, with minimal appearance lines. There are No less accessories, such as disc, carbon fiber chain and quick disassembly device. He is famous for designing toys for adults.

2. 3D Printed Titanium Alloy Headphones 

Final Audio Design (FAD), a Japanese high-fidelity audio company, cooperated with NTT Data Engineering Systems and Probox Japan to jointly design and manufacture the world's first mass-produced 3D printed titanium headset. The headset is called “Final Audio Design LAB 01”. Its shell is printed by NTT using the German EOS company's EOSINT M 280 3D printer, which is a selective laser sintering (SLS) system for metal parts, made of titanium alloy Ti-6-4 powder.

3. ID Mouse 

The ID Mouse was designed by Intelligent Design in the Netherlands. The surface is made of titanium alloy material, metal wire drawing processing is more noble, and the addition of resin materials, another thing worth mentioning is the mouse wheel, we are not familiar with the use of Neodymium metal (Neodymium), this is known as the "king of permanent magnet" material with excellent performance in electronic machinery and other industries. The mouse side also has black and white two options, with simple.

4. Titanium Pipette

Pure titanium titanium alloy portable straw from CooGeek, Hong Kong. Not only can the straw be used to suck drinks, it can also be inserted directly into the fruit to drink juice. Straws also come with a straw brush for easy cleaning.

5. Titanium Tool Ring

Made of titanium alloy, you can think of it as a Swiss army knife in a ring-there are four small tools hidden at the top of the ring, namely a bottle opener, a knife, a saw, and a small comb.

6. Jordan's 22nd Generation Sneakers

Its exposed interchangeable bearing column can be adapted to two cushioning systems. The reinforced titanium alloy shoe bone support plate provides support for the middle of the feet and the arch of the foot. The design of this sneaker is inspired by the F-22 fighter.

7. Titanium Alloy Sci-fi Music Box

The whole body is constructed of titanium alloy, with a sci-fi design. Three different music can be played on the left and right sides. On the left is the theme song of "Star Wars", the episode of "The Empire Strikes Back" and the theme song of "Star Trek"; the tune on the right is Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall", Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and John Lennon's "Imagine", limited to 66 pieces worldwide.


8. The Titanium Alloy Jug 

From the Japanese outdoor products manufacturer Xuefeng, the iconic minimalist design. The capacity of the jug is not large, but it is isolated from heat and cold due to the texture of titanium alloy, and it is corrosion-resistant. Whether in the urban forest or the harsh wasteland, taking a sip will make you more aware of the importance of retaining one's own space.


9. Coins With Titanium Alloy

The Tristan da Cunha Islands have a small piece of Concorde titanium alloy coin. This coin was minted in 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first flight of Concorde. The surface of the coin is gold-plated, and each side contains a small piece of titanium alloy removed from the Concorde. Collect all the coins and you can build a mini Concorde aircraft.


10. Heart Stent

It first appeared in the 1980s and has undergone the development of metal brackets, coating brackets, and soluble brackets. The main materials are stainless steel, nitinol alloy, or cobalt-chromium alloy.
