Norsk Titanium signs Airbus deal to advance 3D-printed aircraft parts

Norsk Titanium signs Airbus deal to advance 3D-printed aircraft parts

- Norway's Norsk Titanium said on Tuesday it has signed a cooperation agreement with Airbus to advance and industrialise its proprietary 3D-printing technology for high-criticality titanium aircraft parts.

  • Norsk Titanium signed a cooperation and research agreement (CRA) with Airbus to mature and qualify Rapid Plasma Deposition (RPD) technology for structural aerospace components.

  • The deal builds on the recent FAA and EASA certification of the 3D-printed Lower Frame Fitting for the Airbus A350 - the largest additively manufactured aerostructure component certified to date.

  • A step toward expanding the adoption across commercial aircraft programs, Norsk Titanium CEO Fabrizio Ponte said.

  • Under the CRA, Norsk Titanium and Airbus will jointly mature the RPD technology for more potential applications on fatigue critical structural elements.

  • Agreement expands earlier collaborations, including a 2024 supply deal for A350 components, and seeks to scale the technology for broader adoption across Airbus aircraft programs.
