End-Use Parts

We know that 3D printing in aerospace enables faster manufacturing of machine components and spare parts. It supports rapid prototype design and iteration and allows for parts to be made in any quantity and shape without excessive material waste. But AM’s biggest draw for aerospace is its ability to produce aircraft parts with equal strength […]

As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial air travel is expected to increase rapidly. Demand indicates an order of nearly 38,000 new aircrafts will be built over the next 20 years. As a result, 设备制造商, designers, and suppliers need to find cost-effective solutions to quickly and efficiently produce these aircraft.1

AM will never completely replace conventional manufacturing in aerospace and it shouldn’t. There are just some parts that cannot be 3D printed; some materials that cannot substitute for titanium and steel. That does not mean there isn’t a role for 3D printing in aerospace. Rather, Essentium, Inc.® believes AM should be viewed as a complement to […]
