Lufthansa Technik Finds a Faster Path to Inner Beauty
Automated water transfer printing shortens lead times, says the company.

Lufthansa Technik (LT) is recognized in the design world for its “water transfer printing” process, which yields customized, high-grade surfaces on interior panels and cabin elements that can mimic fine-grain wood, carbon fiber and stone. Used in VIP interiors, the time-consuming process requires applying a wafer-thin film and careful varnishing. Now LT has automated some of the process, a move that “will shorten our lead times while maintaining an even higher standard of quality,” said Thorsten Hagemann, at LT’s VIP & Special Mission Aircraft division.
