Challenges for the industry
Maturation of Additive Manufacturing industry needed in parallel with 2018 growing deliveries
• Cost improvement (Competition)
• Technical / Industrial robustness
• Target progressively critical parts
PROCESS / PARTS
MACHINE
• Industrialize (eg Post processing)
• Investigate further optimisation
• Secure Skills
• Important work : stable / repeatable high performance
MATERIAL
• Secure high performance
• Investigate lower cost

Capture of full potential: Design differently!
Develop design capabilities and supply chain. Less constraints on design: Faster & Smarter.
Deployment of Additive manufacturing across the aircraft: Engine, Cabin, Systems, Structure
• Build on demonstrated properties
• Develop tools to ease design and manufacturing
• Learn from pathfinders
• Develop skills through training and change culture
Key success factors
World Material Forum - June 20188
Weight reduction from 2.1kg to 1.5kg (-35%) Weight reduction from 457g to 215g (-53%)
Airbus Proprietary Information
Additive Manufacturing for Airbus :
Deliver value through optimized material usage
Growth potential relies upon smart design and industrial robustness
LESS
Reduce weight through different
design concept. Up to -50%.
LONGER:
Support fleet life time with
aftermarket solutions.
SMARTER
Reduce cost and increase ecoefficiency: eg
Recycle machining waste into powder/wire
FASTER
Short lead time for customization
small series and retrofit
