The successful integration of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in aerospace applications unfolds through a series of distinct phases, each instrumental in harnessing the technology''s full potential.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is being established as a fabrication technology that brings revenue to Aerospace Industry throughout its supply chain and repair operations. Aerospace contributes for almost 20% of AM revenue and has been growing annually at about 1.6%. This is mainly because AM Produces parts that are
Challenges to adopting additive manufacturing. Poised to disrupt the aerospace industry, additive manufacturing must first jump these hurdles. In the past five years, there has been a lot of column space given to how additive manufacturing (AM) might change the aerospace sector. The promise is there: time and again, AM has
Design for additive manufacturing therefore tends to involve design via additive manufacturing. All this speaks to why Spirit aims to develop AM expertise. And all this relates to the role Spirit sees for itself in the advance of additive as a means of realizing more cost-effective and better-performing aircraft in the future.
The aviation and space industry now has confidence in AM to produce safety-critical components, which are of the utmost importance in such a regulation-heavy sector. Commercial and easier access to space transportation services – enabled by advanced AM technologies – is leading to innovations that are just now emerging and will
