"Fortius Metals has received broad interest from customers and this investment helps bring new products to market, such as our proprietary 6061-RAM2 and 7075-RAM2 aluminum welding wires that solves traditional "hot cracking" problems," said Jeff Lints, Fortius CEO. "We are helping our customers print designs using our robotic welding process expertise that were previously impossible.  In 2025, the company looks forward to launching new wire alloys with advanced properties like IN625-RAM, 316L-RAM, and 5183-RAM.  We are proud to be a Colorado company along with many of our space and defense customers."

The proprietary alloys developed by Fortius Metals offer up to twice the strength of current commercial solutions used in welding and 3D printing. This provides customers with significant advantages in terms of design performance, product quality, and weight reduction. The company also offers robotic welding process expertise and proprietary predictive toolpaths that deliver dimensional accuracy, helping customers bring innovative designs to life with unmatched precision. The additional capital will help to accelerate these developments and enable Fortius to meet the timelines of customers who are eager to adopt this cutting-edge technology.
