Inovati

Inovati is a small company based in Santa Barbara, California, with 20 employees. They generate $2 million in annual revenue. Inovati specializes in deposition equipment that utilizes their proprietary Kinetic Metallization™ (KM) Technology. This technology allows for the deposition of a range of metals and metal matrix composites onto various substrates, including ceramic, glass, thermoplastic, and metal. The KM process can create coatings to modify surface properties or freestanding shapes. Inovati offers a variety of KM deposition equipment, from a fully integrated 6-axis robot-equipped Coating Development System to smaller, hand-held models for field repairs. Their KM technology is a solid-state process that applies heat to soften metal powder particles before impacting the substrate at high velocity. This results in significant deformation, leading to the desired deposition outcome. For more information about Inovati and their KM Technology, please visit their website at inovati.com.
