The Airbus A350 XWB has more 3D-printed elements than any
other commercial passenger jet. The roughly 1,000 parts were
created in partnership with Stratasys, the additive
manufacturing company.

Stratasys reportedly used an ULTEM 9085 resin, which is
certified to an Airbus material specification, to fabricate
each part on an FDM 3D printer. The process melted the resin
and extruded it layer by layer until entire parts were
fabricated. This method produces parts that are lighter in
weight and strong, as well as being flame, smoke and
toxicity compliant.
