Metal additive manufacturing specialist Arconic has entered into two agreements to supply Airbus 3D printed metal parts for its commercial aircraft. Arconic will supply 3D printed components made from nickel superalloys, and 3D printed titanium airframe parts. Arconic expects to deliver the first parts under both agreements in the second quarter of 2017. Chairman and CEO of Arconic Klaus Kleinfeld said, “We’re proud to deepen our partnership with Airbus through these agreements…Airbus’s confidence in our additive manufacturing capabilities is grounded in Arconic’s comprehensive strengths from aerospace know-how to metals powder production and product qualification expertise. We are pleased to support our customers and pave the way to the future of aerospace manufacturing.” These agreements build on Arconic’s April 2016 deal with Airbus for 3D printed titanium fuselage and engine pylon components.
