At Titan Forge, every product starts with one unshakable choice: a pile of metal powder and a laser. This isn’t just a manufacturing method—it’s a love letter to space exploration, crafted specifically as gifts for space enthusiasts. Where others see a production step, we see the only fitting starting point for creating objects that honor the spirit of cosmic discovery. That’s why we build from powder—for the stargazers, rocket dreamers, and interplanetary adventurers who crave gifts that mirror their passion.
1. First-Principles Design:Gifts for Space Enthusiasts which Echo SpaceX’s Cosmic Innovation
The Core Idea to Use PBF(Powder -bed laser Fusion)
Powder-bed laser fusion isn’t just a tool—it’s the foundation that turns first-principles thinking (the backbone of space exploration) into tangible gifts for space enthusiasts.
Traditional manufacturing is restrictive, like trying to build a rocket with outdated tools—you’re limited by what “can be made,” not what “should be made” for the mission. For space enthusiasts, this compromise won’t do: they deserve gifts that embody the same bold thinking that took humans to the moon and rockets to Mars.
We flip the script: start with powder, add only what’s essential—just like SpaceX reimagined rocket design from the ground up. This forces us to ask: “Based purely on the physics of space exploration and the needs of space lovers, what should this gift’s ideal form be?” We’re not chiseling away excess—we’re building from atoms, just as astronauts and engineers build missions from fundamental science.

The SpaceX Parallel: Elon Musk’s first-principles mindset revolutionized space travel. When SpaceX needed lighter, more powerful rocket engines, they ignored outdated designs and returned to basic physics—thrust, material strength, heat transfer. The result? Metal 3D-printed parts (like the SuperDraco engine chambers) that were once impossible to make. For space enthusiasts, this isn’t just engineering—it’s inspiration.
Our products apply that exact cosmic logic: the organic, lattice structure of our Xeno Bottle Opener isn’t just style—it’s a nod to the optimized geometries of rocket components. It’s a gift that lets space lovers hold a piece of SpaceX’s innovation in their hands.
2. Sustainability: Gifts That Honor the Earth and Mars
We choose recycled metal powder—not 100% new powder
For a purpose rooted in both practicality and principle, especially as we craft gifts for space enthusiasts. In aerospace and astronautics, the standards for metal powder are extraordinarily rigorous: even minor reductions in performance or density, often unavoidable after recycling, disqualify it from use in critical aircraft or spacecraft components. This means vast quantities of high-grade aerospace-caliber powder go unused post-mission or production—until now.
By repurposing this otherwise wasted material for our cosmic-inspired accessories, we achieve two key goals aligned with space lovers’ values:
- We drastically reduce production costs, making premium, aerospace-derived gifts far more accessible and economical.
- We embrace true sustainability—keeping valuable metal powder out of waste streams, cutting down on the need for new mining, and honoring the same "leave no trace" ethos that guides responsible space exploration.
For space enthusiasts who admire both the innovation of aerospace engineering and the importance of protecting our planet, this choice turns recycled powder into a meaningful part of the gift’s story: a piece of aerospace heritage, reborn as a sustainable, affordable keepsake that celebrates their passion without compromise.
The Apple Validation
Our production partner is one of just two titanium powder suppliers for Apple’s Watch Ultra—this exclusive collaboration brings two core advantages to our gifts for space enthusiasts, anchored to Apple’s uncompromising quality and sustainability benchmarks.
- Apple-Grade Sustainability Realized We source the same 100% recycled titanium powder used for the Apple Watch Ultra’s chassis, meeting the brand’s strict eco-standards: slashing material waste, cutting mining demand, and delivering aerospace-grade strength. This lets us deliver genuine sustainability—aligning perfectly with the planet-conscious values of space lovers.
- Apple-Worthy Polished Finish Unlike ordinary rough-surfaced metal 3D-printed parts, our pieces go through the exact precision post-processing as the Apple Watch Ultra. The result is a sleek, flawless surface identical to Apple’s iconic design: exquisitely polished, tactilely refined, and undeniably gift-worthy— a premium piece you’ll be proud to give.
3.From Powder to the Stars” – Curated Cosmic Gifts for Every Space Enthusiast
This mantra is the DNA of our products: crafting gifts for space enthusiasts forged exclusively for cosmic dreamers—logically designed, performance-driven, and infused with unmistakeable space spirit.For space lovers, the perfect gift is personal: a tangible piece of their cosmic passion, crafted with the same rigor as space mission hardware. Our powder-bed fusion technology makes this possible—creating precision-engineered pieces with the authoritative heft and balanced design of genuine space equipment, each with a purpose as unique as the person receiving it. Whether for a friend, colleague, or lover, we’ve curated our cosmic collection to match every bond and moment—gifts that feel as meaningful as they are meticulously crafted.
1. For Friends: Xeno Bottle Opener – A Playful, Iconic 3D-Printed EDC
The Xeno is made for sharing joy with your space-obsessed friend: its bold, organic lattice structure is instantly recognizable as expert 3D-printed craft, a nod to aerospace’s optimized geometries. More than a bottle opener, it’s a perfect EDC piece for endless fidgeting and fun—practical, eye-catching, and unlike any ordinary gadget. It’s the kind of gift that sparks conversation, feels satisfying to hold, and lets your friend carry a little cosmic innovation with them every day.
2. For Colleagues: Meteor Impact Series – A Desk Icon for Ambition & Cosmic Drive
Gift the Meteor Impact Series to your space-inspired colleague: a sleek desk piece that embodies cosmic ambition and relentless drive, perfect for keeping on their workspace to fidget and draw inspiration from. Its design echoes the power of celestial impact—symbolizing bold ideas, forward momentum, and the fearless curiosity that fuels both space exploration and career success. A sophisticated, meaningful gift that blends cosmic style with professional resonance.
3. For Lovers: Celine Lunar Series Seal – A Symbol of Cosmic Connection
The Celine Lunar Series Seal is our most heartfelt cosmic gift, designed for the one you love. Centered on the lunar rabbit—an icon of the moon in Eastern mythology—it carries the timeless meaning of “sharing the beautiful moon across a thousand miles”: a sweet tribute to togetherness, no matter the distance. Its perfectly balanced heft and polished finish (mirroring the Apple Watch Ultra’s craftsmanship) make it a delicate, cherished piece—holding cosmic romance in every detail, a gift that links your love to the stars above.
Every piece in our collection is more than an object: it’s an artifact of cosmic thinking—lighter where it can be, stronger where it needs to be, crafted with the same precision as rocket payloads and spacecraft hulls. For the space enthusiast in your life, this isn’t just a gift: it’s a way to carry their love for the stars with them, every single day. It’s destiny— a cosmic gift that lives up to their passion, no compromises, just pure stargazing inspiration.
