Additive manufacturing is ready to take off in the aerospace industry. But first, design and production organizations need to align on part qualification.
Partnering with Proponent, the world’s largest independent aerospace distribution company, gives us the chance to help both OEMs and MROs explore 3D printing as a complementary technology and benefit from its ability to produce on-demand part series.
Where does additive manufacturing fit into process innovation? This article highlights three significant opportunities where companies can turn to this technology to transform their production lines.
Additive manufacturing (AM) can majorly reduce costs within production lines, but are you considering the right opportunities to achieve this? Even the smallest adjustment with AM can make a significant difference.
As a manufacturer, you frequently encounter risks to your production, but AM can be the hero. Discover how the technology enabled CNH Industrial to avoid risks linked to COVID-19 that could have resulted in losses of €189,000.
Materialise engineers used their AM knowledge to efficiently transform an essential piece for marshmallow design - the nozzle - into something customized.
To create a fullsize representation of a 1930s airplane, VLM turned to Materialise to 3D print and assemble the ghostlike model. The resulting centerpiece for an open air museum is elegant but robust enough to withstand winds of up to 100km/h.
When the team behind phits was faced with growing demand, they needed to find a way to boost their productivity. That’s where our Mindware experts stepped in, using extensive AM knowledge to optimize their workflow and quadruple machine productivity.
Signify came to us for guidance on how to improve some components prone to persistent part failure. Thanks to 3D printing and our expertise, we co-engineered two parts that have not failed a single time in four years — providing huge operational savings. Want to know the secret? Read our blog detailing how co-creation, innovation, and application combined to create the perfect 3D part for Signify’s lightbulb assembly line.
