Reduced production costs for fasteners and improved assembly of parts for the aerospace industry
The aim
To speed up the production of fasteners, speed up the assembly process, and reduce costs.The solution
Using 3D printing allows you to produce fasteners for spacecraft and civil and military aircraft, while reducing production costs and time, and improving the productivity of the entire production.Advantages and results
- Print one-piece part with an already established and collected items.
- Production of parts of complex shapes and geometries with minimal costs and in the shortest possible time.
- Reducing the weight of parts.
- Exception of errors during Assembly.
- Huge time savings on foundry processes and faster design iterations by eliminating time-consuming tooling.
SLA printing reduced the production cycle of an aircraft engine sleeve by 3 months
The aim
To reduce the production time for a passenger aircraft part.The solution
SLA printing with QuickCast technology has reduced the production time for bushing used in aircraft engines. The technology creates a solid shell of the model and is filled with a cellular structure, which increases the burnout process several times. It leaves no ashes, and the final part shape remains the same as the original 3D model. The use of QuickCast 3D printing technology enables saving materials while producing the most detailed part with a high resolution. After assembling all parts, it was covered with a special ceramic composition, and the metal was poured into the mold. After solidification and removal of the form, the final part was taken out.Conclusion
- The Quick Cast model replaces traditional casting models and does not require expensive tooling. Thus, the company reduced the cost of casting models by 95%.
- SLA printing reduced the production cycle by 3 months. Nexa3D printer solves a number of aerospace production tasks, as well as 3DCeram equipment, which produces ceramic parts for complex circuits.
Aerospace optimization and manufacturing process improvement using ceramic 3D printing
The aim
The aerospace industry is constantly seeking to optimize the performance of its equipment (satellites, measurement tools, optical instrumentation, etc.) by exploiting the properties of ceramic materials. Of importance is the quick turnaround between design of components and delivery of these components. Ceramic 3D manufacturing offers an unique solution to the aerospace industry. You will be able to quickly design and manufacture complex and unique parts without large scale investments.Advantage of technology
The ceramic materials used in 3D printing are very resistant and have exceptional physicochemical properties (eg. corrosion resistance, electrical insulation). Ceramic products suffer too often from the limit of traditional means of manufacture, limiting their uses to massive parts and little stress. However, with 3DCeram printers, you have all the freedom degrees for the production of complex ceramic materials for the aerospace industry.High-quality metal powder use to produce high-strength parts for various industries
The aim
Application of additive technologies where it is impossible to use traditional casting methods.The solution
Laser powder melting technology using high- quality titanium, aluminum, and high-strength steel fine metal powders can be used to reduce production cycle time and cost for single part manufacturing. This technology can be used in a broad range of industries, from dental to aerospaceAdvantages
- Achievement of high metal density in the final product is up to 1.5 times higher compare with casting.
- Creation of miniature forms of complex geometry and design in a single copy or series.
- Quick sample production of a part, implant, or tool for a prototype, exhibition, or emergency operation.
Applications and results
- Aerospace industry. 3D printing allows you to reduce the weight of individual elements of the aircraft and reduce the time of production of parts and machining.
- Automotive industry. Laser powder melting technologies can significantly reduce the weight, volume of the part, as well as the speed of its production and post-processing. The technology is also indispensable for manufacturing functional parts for various units and assemblies.
- Medicine and dentistry. The production of implants, crowns, bridges in dentistry, as well as the production of special medical instruments for operations brings the quality of treatment to a new functional level, which leads to the most successful result.
