Large-format 3D printing for aerospace.
The aerospace industry is among the first to adopt 3D printing and is still making a key contribution to its development and innovation.
In the aerospace industry, large-format additive printing is used in all stages of production, from research and development to maintenance.
Applications
The state of the art in 3D printing for the aerospace industry.
The aerospace industry has its own requirements: components with complex geometries, processes and timelines to be optimized, and lightweight materials that improve performance levels. These requirements, combined with the relatively low average production volumes, make 3D printing ideal for the aerospace industry.
To date, large-format 3D additive printing can produce prototypes, tools, templates and aircraft components.
Benefits
Why use large-format 3D printing for aerospace?
Assembly time reduction: large-format 3D printing for the aerospace industry allows multiple parts to be consolidated in a single piece.
Lightweight and durable: thanks to ongoing research into new materials for additive printing, components can be produced that are both lighter and stronger.
Streamlining: 3D printing offers the chance to streamline work, especially at the design stage, and reduce production time.
Waste reduction: sustainability and cost efficiency are achieved by using 3D printing to optimize resources and reduce waste of expensive materials.
