TriOptimum Resources & Materials makes the equipment that cuts, drills and processes ore at 290 mine sites on four continents, and runs refineries that turn what comes out of the ground into alloys for TriOptimum’s other divisions and for customers in aerospace, energy and medicine.
5.1
Laser and mechanical cutting systems, rotary drills and roof bolters. The ML-7 ore-cutting laser, introduced in March 2026, cuts hard rock with about a third of the energy of a mechanical cutter, 67 percent less, and no blasting.
5.2
Crushers, mills and flotation plant for mineral processing, with the controls and sensors to run them with fewer people underground.
5.3
High-purity alloys, ceramics and powders from nine plants, including the cutting heads and pressure hulls used by other TriOptimum divisions.
5.4
Equipment designed for asteroid ore and the conditions of orbit, developed with Orbital & Research Systems. TriOptimum has licensed and operated the mining laser at Citadel Station since 2004.
The ML-7 head traverses on a two-axis mount and is software-limited to the licensed cutting envelope of each installation. On sites where the laser is a licensed autonomous system, the envelope is part of the license, and the laser will not aim outside it.
The mining laser at Citadel Station (TR-02072) is suspended pending the Turing Registry’s review of every TriOptimum filing, and has been locked out.
The ML-7 cuts hard rock without blasting, using 67 percent less energy per tonne than a mechanical cutter, within a cutting envelope set in software for each site.
