3D Printing Takes Off

Design validation; lightweighting; just-in-time inventory… A recent report from Aerospace Engineering highlights three areas where 3D printing is changing the dynamics of aircraft design and manufacture. These applications, however, are just the beginning. Additive manufacturing processes will soon be used to optimize electrical components like antennas and interconnects. New capabilities with sintered metal will allow the onsite production of jigs, fixtures, and other tools. Learn why the Department of Defense is investing heavily in this rapidly evolving technology.
