Aerospace Defence

One of the earliest adopters of 3D printing technology is the Aerospace and Defence industry, who are manufacturing stronger but light-weight parts of different aircrafts. They are utilizing this technology for the sake of development and progress in their respective field.

Applications

• Detailed modelling
• Impact resistance
• Space travel
• Remote controlled air travel

3D printing is used to manufacture light-weight parts of aircraft both civil and military usage. Equipment maintenance is another aspect of 3D printing usage in the Aerospace and Defence industry. This technology is more successful as compared to traditional methods, thus benefiting all sectors i.e. civil, defence, and space sectors. In addition to that, the Aerospace industry is utilizing 3D technology to manufacture high-quality aircrafts but at low-cost.
