In this episode of Vantage Point Podcast, we sit down with John, co-founder of Metal Powder Works (MPW), a Pittsburgh innovator in additive manufacturing (3D printing). Recently listed on the ASX as MPW, their direct powder process turns premium bar stock into consistent metal powders at room temperature, surpassing traditional atomisation. Rooted in problem-solving from Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and Airbus, MPW delivers reliable "ink" for aerospace, defence, and beyond—imagine parts for Mars or in-field repairs. Operating from Neighbourhood 91, their lean team of 10, backed by a $10 million IPO, targets a $6 billion powder market growing 20% annually. Collaborating with firms like 6K Inc., they fuse competition with synergy, offering sustainable, efficient solutions in copper, titanium, and more.
