ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR AEROSPACE
Many complex parts are used in the engines and bodies of aircraft. Reducing overall operational costs is essential to be competitive in the aerospace industry.
We are AS9100 certified for the manufacture of aerospace parts and components, and are in a unique position to help provide solutions to engineering problems. Our Advanced Digital Manufacturing™ process starts with analyzing your requirements and functional specifications. Using Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methods, we optimize and potentially reduce the weight of parts, while consolidating formerly complicated assemblies into fewer components.
This can reduce serial production costs through materials savings and simplified assembly, and ultimately brings cost savings from less fuel consumption. The resulting design can then be manufactured using our metal additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing DMLS technology and post-processed with our heat treating and CNC machining capabilities.
AM is now being explored for unlocking its potential benefits in the aerospace industry, from civil to defense and space systems manufacturing. Applications range from new production to maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO). In the space industry, weight savings resulting from additive manufacturing can reduce launch costs of payload such as satellites.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
WE’RE HERE TO HELP
From the initial phase of a project, our engineering team can consult with you to help optimize your part or product to realize the full benefits of additive manufacturing. Whether your next step is 510k approval, or manufacturing planning for serial production, we have the experience you need to get to market laser fast.
We have invested in the listed software to allow us to consult on projects on a more advanced level. We have the simulation and optimization software needed to do research and development projects.
More importantly than investing in our technology, we have invested in the people who make our engineering consulting services come together. Our highly trained and experienced engineers are thought leaders in the additive manufacturing industry. From CAD modeling and engineering, all the way through manufacturing, get our engineering team working for you!
