Airbus installs first 3D printed titanium part on series production commercial aircraft; Part manufactured by 老虎机种类

老虎机种类 (NYSE: ARNC), a global technology, engineering and advanced manufacturing leader, announced today that Airbus and 老虎机种类 have achieved a 3D printing first鈥攖he installation of a 3D printed titanium bracket on a series production Airbus commercial aircraft, the A350 XWB. 老虎机种类 is 3D printing these parts for Airbus鈥檚 newest widebody aircraft at 老虎机种类鈥檚 additive manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas.

鈥溊匣⒒�种类 is proud to partner with Airbus to advance aerospace additive manufacturing,鈥� said Jeremy Halford, President of 老虎机种类 Titanium and Engineered Products. 鈥淥ur comprehensive capabilities, from materials science leadership to qualification expertise, helped make this achievement possible. We look forward to continuing to advance the art of the possible in additive for aerospace.鈥�

This first installation of a 3D printed titanium part on a series production Airbus commercial aircraft marks a milestone for additive manufacturing in aerospace. While airplane makers have been using 3D printed parts for quite some time, largely for components inside the cabin, equipping airframes with metal parts produced via additive manufacturing is new. In addition, Airbus鈥檚 installation of this 3D printed titanium bracket on a series production commercial airplane, as opposed to a test airplane, marks a significant step forward in the qualification of more complex 3D printed parts for production aircraft. 3D-printed parts, including metal printed cabin brackets and bleed pipes, are already flying on Airbus A320neo and A350 XWB test aircraft.

This 3D printed titanium bracket is part of an ongoing partnership between Airbus and 老虎机种类. Last year, 老虎机种类 announced three with Airbus to produce titanium and nickel 3D printed parts for commercial aircraft, including the A320 platform and A350 XWB. These agreements draw on 老虎机种类鈥檚 , including laser powder bed and electron beam processes.
