Norsk Titanium Expands Production Capabilities for Rapid Part Development

PLATTSBURGH NEW YORK, January 4, 2024 — Norsk Titanium (Euronext: NTI, OTCQX: NORSF), a global leader in additive manufacturing for aerospace-grade structural titanium components using its patented Rapid Plasma Deposition® (RPD®) technology, is expanding its rapid part development and qualification capabilities to shorten the lead-time and meet accelerated customer part verification needs.

The new capabilities include heat treatment, ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT), finish machining operations, and coordinate measuring (CMM), and will allow for Norsk Titanium to perform all tasks needed to design, develop, and qualify parts without adding any lead time required by the supply chain. The additional capital investments have been made as part of Norsk Titanium’s continued cooperation with the State of New York.

“With our RPD Builder™ rapid part design tool and these new capabilities, we can now take a customer’s final part geometry, design the RPD® preform, and validate the design all at our Plattsburgh New York facility,” said Steve Eaton, Norsk Titanium VP of Operations. “We will be able to verify parts in accordance our customers’ aerospace material specifications in as little as six weeks,” added Eaton.

The expanded capabilities will also allow Norsk Titanium to deliver limited production rapid prototypes to customer who have urgent needs. Rapid part development and prototyping are critical capabilities needed to meet Norsk Titanium’s objective of developing a ‘part-in-a-day’ operation and transitioning the number of parts needed to meet the company’s long-term goals.
