Advanced manufacturing NTi’s proprietary RPD technology enables near net shape titanium parts with lower buy-to-fly ratios and significant cost and lead-time reductions, presenting a compelling value proposition for aerospace OEMs and tier suppliers seeking lightweight, high-strength components.

Strategic partnerships Recent and ongoing collaborations with Airbus and Safran, plus engagements with Hittech Group, indicate a growing ecosystem around DED and Plasma DED RPD processes, creating cross-sell and Co-development opportunities with airframe integrators and complex component manufacturers.

Expansion and scale Progressive geographic and capability expansion—from Norway headquarters to Plattsburgh development, qualification, and full-scale production centers—signals capacity to handle larger programs and regional aerospace programs, enabling qualified supply for multiple platforms.

Future-ready tech Investment in Plasma DED and Directed Energy Deposition processes positions NTi to address high-criticality structural titanium parts and evolving aerospace materials strategies, aligning with customers pursuing next-gen, multi-material architectures.

Recognition and leadership Industry awards and leadership hires (CEO Fabrizio Ponte, CCO appointment) coupled with supplier innovation accolades enhance credibility for procurement teams, helping to unlock new RFPs, long-term contracts, and expanded supplier diversity conversations.
