Norsk Titanium achieves two major milestones with Rapid Plasma Deposition process Aerospace

by Aerospace

Norsk Titanium, a supplier of 3D printed structural titanium components for the aerospace industry, has announced two significant milestones at the Paris Air Show this week. First, the company has successfully completed the latest phase of Boeing’s Material Allowables Program, which consists of characterizing the company’s Rapid Plasma Deposition (RPD) process. Second, the company is preparing to enter into the second testing phase for a 3D printed integrally bladed rotor (IBR).

GKN Aerospace announces two new AM research programs Aerospace

by Aerospace

GKN Aerospace is to lead two ground-breaking collaborative additive manufacturing research programs, AIRLIFT and DAM and will inject its unique Laser Metal Deposition by wire (LMD-w) AM technology in the programs. AIRLIFT and DAM are focused on making AM serial production ready at high rates and exploring how AM can revolutionize product design for high value, high complexity product manufacture. The aim is to accelerate industrialization and increase GKN Aerospace’s market share in the growing global AM market.

SPEE3D’s innovative LightSPEE3D machine proved that 3D metal printing could be fast and cheap. The development of the large format WarpSPEE3D printer proves that it can also be extra large. Targeted towards production, WarpSPEE3D performs a different role to the smaller LightSPEE3D model. While lightSPEE3D is ideal for materials experimentation, process development and printing small parts, WarpSPEE3D is able to produce industrial components in a matter of hours that could take 6-12 months using traditional casting methods.

TRUMPF aerospace AM applications focus on cost saving for satellites and engine parts Aerospace

by Aerospace

At the Paris Air Show International Aerospace Exhibition, TRUMPF aerospace applications are focusing on how its additive manufacturing technologies can improve satellites and aircraft. As demands on satellites parts and performances increase, every kilogram that a rocket carries into space can cost several hundred thousand euros. At the same time, the rocket vehicles must be extremely stable in order to withstand the high forces needed at take-off.
