Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace
The sky’s the limit! 3D Print parts that are stronger and lighter than parts made using traditional manufacturing processes.
3D Printing within the aerospace industry provides you with the ability to manufacture complex functional parts with defined aerodynamic properties, without tooling and on demand. Creation of fuel tanks, jigs and fixtures, structural hinges, engine and turbine parts are just some of the examples of what is possible with aerospace 3D printing.

Real World 3D Printing Success Story
Royal Netherlands Air Force
The Royal Netherlands Air Force is the Netherlands’ guardian of the skies. Their fleet contains a wide range of helicopters, fighter jets, and cargo planes. These aircraft have many unique, custom-made parts which are difficult to work on with off-the-shelf tools.
