Process Overview
Titanium Wire
Rapid Plasma Deposition (“RPD”)
Following a CAD design, the plasma torches melt the wire in a predefined pattern, building components by layer
Near Net Shape
A near-net-shape component is manufactured
Post-Processing
Rough machining and non-destructive testing occurs. Finally, precision machining completes the manufacturing process
Finished Component
