Presentation of the equipment's characteristics

The Greenstone GSTCP-Series Supersonic Low-Pressure Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing System, developed by Greenstone-Tech, is an advanced solid-state metal additive manufacturing solution based on gas-dynamic cold spray technology.

By accelerating metal powder particles to supersonic velocities using a low-pressure gas source, the system enables high-density metal deposition without melting, completely avoiding thermal degradation, oxidation, or phase transformation. This makes the GSTCP-Series ideal for metal additive manufacturing, precision repair, and functional coating applications in aerospace, transportation, energy, electronics, and heavy industry.

Unlike traditional thermal spray or fusion-based additive manufacturing processes, the Greenstone cold spray system delivers high deposition efficiency, excellent bonding strength, and precise thickness control, while significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

1. Supersonic Low-Pressure Cold Spray Technology

The Greenstone GSTCP-Series utilizes a supersonic gas-dynamic acceleration mechanism under low operating pressure, achieving particle velocities sufficient for solid-state bonding while minimizing system energy demand.

  • No melting, no heat-affected zone (HAZ)

  • No oxidation or phase change

  • Stable and repeatable deposition quality


2. High Deposition Efficiency and Thickness Control

The system supports thick-layer deposition in a single pass, enabling rapid material buildup for additive manufacturing and repair.

  • Layer thickness per pass increased by over 300%

  • Deposition efficiency up to 3× higher than conventional processes

  • Suitable for both near-net-shape AM and precision repair


3. Energy-Efficient and Environmentally Friendly

Operating with a low-pressure gas supply, the GSTCP-Series significantly reduces power consumption while maintaining industrial-grade performance.

  • Low gas consumption
