Additive manufacturing applications in aerospace explode

Подробнее о видео

At RAPID/TCT Los Angeles, additive machine builders, material suppliers, and service vendors gathered to demonstrate the breadth and depth of 3D printing technology. Materials and methods are growing exponentially, and many of them have direct application to the aerospace industry.

New materials, including composites, are ready for new roles in fuselage, wing and empennage applications, while durable new alloys decrease weight from the fan to the hot section of gas turbines. But even commodity resins are now in focus, as low cost, disposable drone swarms appear to be the next major step forward in combat aviation.
