Technology & Products

Key Products

Aircraft structural components (fuselage sections, wings); Titanium aerospace brackets and parts; Additively manufactured flight-critical components for A350, A400M

Technological Advantage

Proprietary expertise in certifying and scaling metal AM (PBF-LB and DED) for flight-critical aerospace applications, protected by a portfolio of 363 patents and deep process knowledge. Advantage is defensible via certification barriers, IP, and integration with parent Airbus's supply chain.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces lead times and enables complex, lightweight aerospace part geometries that are difficult or impossible with traditional manufacturing, while achieving series production maturity and certification (EASA) for flight-critical titanium components.

How They Differentiate

As an integrated Airbus aerostructures unit, it combines large-scale traditional manufacturing with certified, in-house metal AM production, unlike pure-play AM bureaus or machine vendors. It focuses on high-value, certified aerospace structural components.

Market & Competition

Target Customers

Aerospace OEMs (Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin) and defense contractors.

Industry Verticals

Aerospace; Defense

Competitors

GKN Aerospace; Spirit AeroSystems; Arconic
