Challenge
Traditional titanium forging for structural aircraft parts involves 80–95% material waste (buy-to-fly ratio) and forging tooling that takes up to two years to qualify. Supply chain bottlenecks are acute.
Solution
Norsk's RPD (wire-arc DED) prints near-net-shape titanium preforms that are then CNC-machined and installed in A350 assemblies. A master supply agreement with Airbus signed April 2024 targets serial production. First A350 production deliveries began 2024.
Outcomes
- 01Successful AM implementation
Technologies
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
