The benefits of large format 3D printing for aerospace

QUALITY-FIRST
3D print with the highest AS / EN 9100 quality management standards: from certified materials to controlled production process and testing

WEIGHT REDUCTION
Lighter, optimized, tools and parts, leading to fuel efficient aircrafts

PART CONSOLIDATION
Produce large single components and reduce assemblies easily manufacturing complex structures, for faster lead times and improved part performance

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION
From tooling to finished parts, schedule just-in-time part production seamlessly on custom low volume components also for late design changes

SHORT LEAD TIME
Rapidly and flexibly deliver your projects from design to tools, jigs, and fixtures, to finished-part production

OPTIMIZE COSTS
Reduce costs on materials, manufacturing, supply, and logistics
