Airbus and Norsk Titanium are moving to process-based qualification by installing a Merke IV RPD machine at the Varel factory. This enables rapid scaling of DED technology for the A350 fleet, addressing a 750-aircraft backlog with parts that cost less than forgings. With 600 sensor checks per second, the process ensures the fidelity required for structural titanium. This partnership marks the transition of AM into a primary aerospace production standard. ✈️ #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #NorskTitanium #Airbus
