Does Titomic have any relationship to BAE? I cannot remember. What caught my eye in the article was the Hot Isostatic Press process that improves porosity. This treatment has been spoken of often by Titomic with regards to cold pray.

" BAE officials have reported that the demonstrator passed a critical design review (CDR) in May. Half the aircraft prototype’s weight has now been manufactured or assembled, with the front center, rear and wing sections being built.

Structural parts are being produced using additive manufacturing processes, including industrial 3D printing and Hot Isostatic Press (HIP). HIP presses powdered titanium together under intense heat and pressure to produce metal parts.

This minimizes waste and significantly reduces the lead times associated with forgings. According to BAE, project engineers have also leveraged design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) when producing structural parts. "
