Airbus is scaling w-DED to produce structural titanium parts up to 7 meters long using a designed-for-DED approach. Following 25,000 polymer parts flown in 2025, this shift to large-scale metal achieves 43% weight reduction and 85% shorter lead times. Production is jumping from grams to several kilograms per hour. This technology targets wings and landing gear next, redefining aerospace supply chains. ✈️🏗️ #Airbus #AM #Aerospace #Titanium #3DPrinting
