Tooling

Delivering lightweight, high-performance components that meet the rigorous demands of aerospace.

  • Improved tooling

Improved tooling with Additive manufacturing

Challenge

Traditionally, manufacturing faceplates has been slow and costly, with wastage, long lead times and geometry and machining issues.

Solution

Titomic’s technologies and capabilities allow tooling manufacturers to produce near-net shape faceplates with Invar36 and titanium.

Invar 36 offers low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for manufacturing large, high-tolerance composite parts – with shorter lead times and the ability to repair and resurface existing tooling.

Titanium has good thermal stability for small to medium sized parts, and is lighter, stronger and stiffing. It also uses less material for thinner tooling, and offers corrosion resistance.

Results:

  • Improved lead times
  • Reduced welding and assembly times
  • Near-net shape with minimal machining and post-production
  • Titanium becomes viable for stronger, thinner, lighter and corrosion-resistant tooling
  • Multi-material solutions for better heat distribution
  • Embedded sensors, heating and cooling
