VRC Metal Systems is a leader in advanced cold spray technology, specializing in high-pressure cold spray solutions that enable efficient, high-quality metal repair and additive manufacturing. Founded in 2013, this Veteran-owned company operates out of the scenic Black Hills, where it designs and manufactures all its cold spray equipment. VRC proudly serves industries such as aerospace, defense, commercial, and manufacturing, providing state-of-the-art cold spray systems that repair, coat, and build metal parts with precision, extending the life of critical components and reducing overall costs.
High-pressure cold spray is an innovative metal deposition process that accelerates metal powders to supersonic speeds and bonds them to surfaces without melting. This low-temperature technique is ideal for repairing, restoring, and protecting metal parts, reducing the risk of heat-related damage and preserving the integrity of valuable components. VRC’s high-pressure cold spray technology is particularly effective in addressing wear, corrosion, and damage to expensive or irreplaceable parts, as well as adding protective coatings to extend their service life.
With a team of skilled engineers, technicians, and industry experts, VRC is dedicated to continuous research and development in cold spray technology. Many of VRC’s talented team members come from the South Dakota School of Mines, a key partner in recruitment, ensuring that VRC attracts highly qualified and innovative talent from the local community. This close relationship with the School of Mines allows VRC to foster growth and development among emerging engineers, bringing in new perspectives and technical expertise to better serve its clients.
What sets VRC Metal Systems apart is not only its commitment to tailored, customer-centered solutions but also its dedication to quality. Manufacturing its equipment locally in the Black Hills, VRC emphasizes American craftsmanship and a strong sense of integrity, making it a standout leader in the evolving field of cold spray technology.
