Titomic has announced a partnership with Airbus. The Australian manufacturer will leverage its metal additive manufacturing technology for the production of 3D near-net demonstrator parts, a targeted application to be performance tested in mock qualification.
In this sense, the Australian company will support, advise, and perform works towards creation and provision of parts and research data for the advancement of multi-material 3D near-net demonstrator parts for Airbus using TKF additive manufacturing.
This will be achieved through an initial material and process development phase followed by a representative geometry demonstration. Titomic’s patented TKF additive manufacturing process will be used to create demonstrator parts to determine the end to end process for multi-material additive manufacturing, such that key learnings may be derived and applied to other application specific material combinations.
Speaking of this partnership, Jeff Lang, Titomic Managing Director, states: “We are pleased to partner with Airbus, to demonstrate high performance metal parts produced using the Titomic Kinetic Fusion metal additive manufacturing process with this initial $50,000 part. The TKF technology, the world’s largest and fastest industrial scale metal additive manufacturing process, is perfectly suited to produce near-net shape metal parts for the aerospace industry using our patented process of fusing dissimilar metals that cannot be produced with either traditional fabrication methods, or metal melt-based 3D Printers.”
Titomic keeps collecting partnerships with leading companies of the aerospace and defense industries. This increasing interest in Titomic’s technology confirms the capabilities of a technology which can deliver faster build rates compared to traditional machined aircraft parts.
