Airbus Helicopters uses 3D printers from TRUMPF to manufacture structural components made of titanium and high-strength aluminum. These will be its rotary products and to the A320 and A350 aircraft amongst others.
Combining SLM's high-precision printing capabilities with Rayvatek's experience and expertise in the space industry has allowed the companies to develop and produce high-quality space components.
One recent example of 3D-printed parts via Impossible Objects is a strap that keeps first-aid kits secure inside aircraft currently flown by the U.S. Air Force.
Investing over $5 million dollars in a fifth vacuum heat treating facility in the US gives Solar Atmospheres of Michigan the space for further growth. Nine furnaces will relocate, and be joined by two new ones.
A new collaboration will explore additional AM technology areas, including laser powder bed fusion, electron beam-directed energy deposition and friction stir additive manufacturing.
The 100,000 square-foot facility will initially house research and development of laser metal deposition with wire (LMD-w) additive manufacturing technology for large-scale titanium aerostructures.
As well as facilitating larger components, GKN's technology enables parts to be produced faster than current methods, uses raw materials more efficiently, and may ultimately result in reduced costs.
