Lead time reduced from 80 to 14 days \u2013 3D-printed titanium shortens lead time<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

By moving from complex welded cast parts to one-piece 3D printing, DESMI<\/a> has created a stronger, faster, and more reliable solution with a lower CO\u2082 footprint and greater design freedom.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The challenge: Long lead times and low quality in titanium welding<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In the production of impellers for pump systems, DESMI used cast and welded titanium components manufactured in Belgium. This method presented several challenges: <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
