Fonon Announces Release of 2016 Titan Laser Cutting System
February 23, 2016
Titan FX laser cutting system capable of saving users up to $1M over typical five-year span
LAKE MARY, FL, February 22, 2016 – Fonon Corporation (OTC: FNON) today unveiled ten major updates to the Titan family of large, flat-bed multipurpose laser cutting machines, integrating multiple subsystems and introducing several evolutionary improvements which increase end-user productivity, lower costs over time, minimize the Titan’s floor space footprint and reduce its power consumption.
Designed to consume less than 5% of the power required by common carbon dioxide (C02) laser systems, the Titan FX cutting machine is a maintenance-free, turn-key system, with an integrated laser source and heat exchange. Its laser is modular, available in 1kW, 2kW or 4kW increments, allowing users to increase the laser cutting power up to 8kW, and field-upgradeable, empowering users themselves to quickly adapt the system to changes in their production environment. This eliminates many of the high installation and maintenance costs borne by users of typical laser cutting systems.
Technical advancements recently incorporated in many of Fonon’s other laser material processing systems allow the Titan FX to adjust dynamically to slight variations in thickness across the metal plate. Additionally, the updated Titan is equipped with a sealed feedback sensor, allowing flawless operation in hash industrial environments. Its frictionless, direct drive linear-motion platform, software-controlled orthogonality and lightweight bridge enable tremendously high acceleration and “cutting on the fly” capabilities.
The new Titan design eliminates several components prone to failure in typical large-format laser cutting systems, increasing the system’s long-term reliability.
Together these advancements enhance the user’s productivity in terms of laser speed, acceleration, and laser placement accuracy, and have the potential to save users hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
Further user-centric advancements include the ability to recalibrate the gantry at the press of a single button, ensuring the material is always in alignment, free of seizures and unplanned machine failures. Power wattage upgrades to the laser do not require a specialized field engineer, and all operational steps are designed specifically for user best practices.
As with other Fonon systems delivered under the Laser Photonics brand, the Titan is a true plug-and-play system, requires no consumables, and is maintenance-free.
“Until now, the most advanced laser cutting technologies were available only to industrial giants,” said Dmitriy Nikitin, CTO and interim CEO of Fonon Corporation. “The redesigned Titan FX laser cutting system, with its drastically-reduced base price, ease of installation and low operational costs opens the door for small and medium-size companies to avail of the most advanced cutting technology.”
The Titan series is in production and available immediately. Contact Fonon for additional details.

Despite components made using metal 3D printing finding their way into everything from automobiles to power generators, airplanes and even rockets, the process is still far from perfect. While metal 3D printing is quite useful for the manufacturing of parts that have highly complex geometries and other shapes that are un-castable with traditional fabrication technologies, there are many limitations that make it unsuitable for most mass-produced metal parts. Not only is the process itself time consuming, but it is also expensive and any finished parts will usually require a considerable amount of post processing.
Fonon Introduces Advanced Technology for 3D Metal Printing
February 1, 2016
Bulk-To-Shape technology provides the quickest path to printing quality metal parts for production
LAKE MARY, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 1, 2016 / Fonon Corporation (FNON) today unveiled its Bulk-To-Shape technology, an umbrella of 3D printing technologies representing a transformational approach to industrial, application-specific metal additive manufacturing. The new technology enables manufacturers to reliably integrate 3D metal printing into full production environments, and demonstrates a potentially disruptive key shift in industrial manufacturing.
While first-generation 3D metal printing has transformed the prototyping process by shrinking cycle times and reducing development costs, collective industry experience has determined that these systems have not been effective, reliable, or sustainable as tools for full production. First-generation additive manufacturing technology has proven unable to consistently produce high quality and highly functioning components, particularly when dealing with complex parts.
Bulk-To-Shape technology, available exclusively from Fonon Corporation, provides a cost-effective method for developing application-specific 3D metal printing tools. A combination of proprietary processes, a profound understanding of the molecular behavior of materials under transitional temperatures and intellectual property accumulated over decades of success building metal laser sintering products, Fonon Corporation’s Bulk-To-Shape technology enables industrial manufacturers to bridge the gap between prototyping and full production.
“Medical, aviation, automotive, and space industry metal printing experts use a measurement system called Manufacturing Readiness Level to classify additive manufacturing machines,” said Louis Schlegel, Vice President of Fonon Corporation. “While Manufacturing Readiness Level Ten represents machines ready for production, these experts have classified currently-available systems as within a range of Level Four to Level Six.”
Schlegel stated, “Bulk-To-Shape technology is the quickest path for these industries to achieve Manufacturing Readiness Level Ten.”
Bulk-To-Shape technology is available immediately for application development. Contact Fonon for additional details.
