Under a recurring production purchase order from long-time partner Hittech Group, based in Den Haag, Netherlands, Norsk has begun serial production of an 3D printed 80 kg Ti 6-4 component, the company said.
“RPD [rapid plasma deposition] is uniquely suited for this application,” said Nicholas Mayer, Norsk Titanium VP. “The high deposition rate and near net shape part that our process delivers allows our customer to reduce their raw material costs and improve their productivity. This effectively increases their capacity without any capital investment.”
