Prodways Rapid Additive Forging tech makes 50% cheaper 3D printed titanium parts

French 3D printing company Prodways has presented its new Rapid Additive Forging (RAF) 3D printing method for printing large titanium parts. The company says aerospace companies could save up to 50% on titanium part production by using the technology. Groupe Gorgé subsidiary Prodways has had an interesting year by anyone’s reckoning. Besides the rather large matter of its IPO launch on Euronext Paris, the 3D printing company has also unveiled new 3D printers, formed important AM partnerships, and even supplied its materials to sportswear giant Nike.
