Rapid Plasma Deposition® (RPD®) Facility
Norsk Titanium’s advanced facility serves as a leading hub for innovation in additive manufacturing, driving leading-edge advancements in 3D metal printing technology. Purpose-built to support the company’s patented Rapid Plasma Deposition® (RPD®) technology, the facility is engineered for unmatched precision and performance.
Designed to optimize the production of high-strength, near-net-shape titanium parts, the facility maintains strict environmental controls, ensuring titanium wire is melted in an inert argon gas atmosphere.
Every detail reinforces Norsk Titanium’s mission to push the boundaries of aerospace and industrial manufacturing.
The Norsk facility is a leap forward in advanced manufacturing, setting new standards for efficiency, strength, and scalability in titanium production.
Norsk Titanium’s Plattsburgh plant is built for precision and efficiency, seamlessly integrating advanced HVAC systems to maintain the controlled environment essential for the RPD® process. Designed for minimal environmental impact and maximum energy efficiency, the facility reflects Norsk Titanium’s commitment to sustainable innovation.
At the heart of the plant, real-time quality assurance technology monitors the RPD® process at an incredible 600 times per second, ensuring exceptional material properties—from tensile strength and fatigue resistance to a consistent microstructure. This rigorous oversight fuels Norsk Titanium’s ability to deliver aerospace-grade titanium parts at scale.
With each MERKE IV® machine producing up to 20 tons of titanium components annually, the plant is designed for high-output production, supporting multiple machines and reinforcing Norsk Titanium’s global production capacity of 180 tons per year. The Plattsburgh facility is a bold step forward in metallurgy and additive manufacturing, engineered to reduce costs, accelerate lead times, and minimize environmental impact.
