What Hamr Industries Llc does

HAMR Industries LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped advanced materials and manufacturing solutions company co-located within Neighborhood 91's Advanced Manufacturing Production Campus at the Pittsburgh International Airport Innovation Campus in Clinton, PA. Co-founded by Dr. Michael P. Schmitt (CEO, Ph.D. Penn State ARL) and Dr. Jeremy Schreiber (CTO/CDO, Penn State Engineering Science and Mechanics), the company operates a method-agnostic, requirements-first model across multiple additive manufacturing modalities — cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) on a WarpSPEE3D system, directed energy deposition on a FormAlloy X5R platform, electron beam powder bed fusion with Freemelt, and laser powder bed fusion — combined with in-house residual stress, multiphysics, RF, and EO/IR modeling and simulation. HAMR has accumulated two granted U.S. patents (US 11630371 for a multifunctional optical filter addressing counter-directed energy weapons, and US 11,739,410 B2 for advanced thermal barrier/environmental barrier coatings), and has recorded multiple industry-firsts including the first free-form CSAM component flown on a hypersonic vehicle and the first CSAM parts submitted to the U.S. Navy for qualification.

Direct peers

• Sintavia: Sintavia is an additive manufacturer of aerospace and defense metal parts with AS9100/Nadcap certifications. Highly comparable to HAMR as a contract AM parts manufacturer serving aerospace and defense primes with qualified serial production.
• Velo3D: Velo3D is a metal additive manufacturing systems and parts producer focused on aerospace, defense, and space applications. Closely comparable to HAMR as a metal AM services provider serving defense primes with qualified, flight-ready components.
• Equispheres: Equispheres develops high-performance aluminum and specialty alloy powders optimized for additive manufacturing in aerospace and automotive. Comparable to HAMR as an AM materials technology provider serving similar end markets.
• 6K Additive: 6K Additive produces premium metal powders for additive manufacturing serving aerospace and defense customers. Comparable to HAMR as a materials-focused supplier in the AM value chain for defense and hypersonic applications.
• Titomic: Titomic specializes in cold spray additive manufacturing (Titomic Kinetic Fusion) for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers. Directly comparable to HAMR's CSAM core capability and similar defense and hypersonic customer focus.
• SPEE3D: SPEE3D is the original equipment developer of the WarpSPEE3D cold spray additive manufacturing platform that HAMR operates. Directly comparable as a cold spray AM technology provider and operator for defense applications, and a current HAMR technology partner.
• FormAlloy Technologies: FormAlloy develops multi-material directed energy deposition (DED) systems and processes for repair and additive manufacturing. Comparable to HAMR's DED capability and a current technology partner.
