Stratasys wins large aerospace orders following investment in four large-scale 3D printers

In what is one of its largest single orders to date, Stratasys has announced that Latvia-based specialist aerospace additive manufacturing service provider, AM Craft has purchased four large-scale production-grade Stratasys F900 3D Printers to provide certifiable 3D printed parts for a much wider range of aircraft interior applications.

3D printing reaches new heights in aerospace manufacturing

3D printing reaches new heights in aerospace manufacturing

The importance of additive manufacturing (3D printing) continues to be recognised within the aerospace industry. This is largely due to the high-performance aerospace-grade materials that possess the properties required to deliver in an array of application areas, together with inherent capabilities that drive other efficiencies across the manufacturing supply chain.

3D printing in space: What I learnt from my astronaut mission

3D printing in space: What I learnt from my astronaut mission

In December 2019, I embarked on a simulated astronaut mission in Hawai’i. The EMMIHS-II mission is a collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA)-funded Euro Moon Mars Initiative (EMM), the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) and the International Moon Base Alliance (IMA).

Automotive in the additive manufacturing lane

The automotive industry is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of additive manufacturing (AM). Way back in 2018, BMW was already producing over 200,000 3D-printed car parts a year (a leap of 40% compared to the previous year). In tooling, AM is even more prevalent.
