Industrial 3D printing enables the cost-effective, rapid production of complex, functional parts with precise aerodynamic properties, like engine components and cabin interiors. In aerospace, it drives innovation by reducing weight and material use, lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. As a result, leading aerospace companies have adopted additive manufacturing as a core part of their long-term production strategies.
Applications for Aerospace
Engine Parts
Optimizing lightweight structures with precise aerodynamic and fluid dynamic properties
Aircraft Interior
Creating more cost- and resource-efficient aircraft with digital manufacturing
Structural Parts
Cut costs, combine parts, and produce on demand with digital manufacturing
Trends
Reduce Fuel Consumption and Material Costs
As air traffic continues to grow, the total volume is projected to nearly double over the next fifteen years. Even now, the industry is under significant pressure, as the construction and maintenance of both freight and passenger aircraft present increasing challenges.
Rocket Engines
An additively manufactured product that consolidates 248 individual parts into a single component through functional integration.
Satellite
Production of a component using additive manufacturing that meets all weight and stability requirements through its complex structures.
