A leading aerospace manufacturer required a lightweight, high-strength titanium support bracket for engine mount applications. By utilizing Titanium 6Al-4V (Grade 5), we designed a complex, optimized structure that reduced the weight by 30% compared to traditional forged aluminum. The component was manufactured using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and underwent post-processing to achieve a high-quality surface finish. The result was a durable, efficient bracket with improved strength-to-weight ratio and reduced fuel consumption.
