8. Additive Manufacturing (1/2)
u Reasons of our choice
• Technical reasons
u Mechanical characteristics of Titanium
u Designed for weight optimization
u Integration of functions
• Marketing reasons
u High technology product
u Specific design for customers
• Economic reasons
u Cheaper solution than traditional machined parts.

9. Additive Manufacturing (2/2)
u Specific Adaptation
• Design
u The parts should be designed according to the Additive
Manufacturing process
u Performance optimization according to EBM process
• Industrialization
u Design should integrate the production efficiency
• Manufacturing
u Maximize the number of parts per batch in the EBM machine
u Specific training for machining
It’s why our project requires
the SIRRIS expertise

10. Perspectives
u Increasing the production rate
u Optimization of the design including
Lattice structures.
u Optimization of the production
parameters to reduce the finishing
operations.
u Development of new products
(fastening, …)

11. Conclusions
u Based on our experience, Titanium Additive
Manufacturing is a very efficient technology.
• High mechanical performance
• Design to very low weight
• Attractive cost.
u But which requires a specific organization to
get the highest benifits.
