Milan’s Bergamo Airport opens 3D printed service building Aerospace AM
Just 45 km northeast of Milan is the Milan Bergamo Airport, which serves over 17 million passengers a year and is Italy’s third busiest airport (after Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Malpensa). As a key international transport hub, the airport must (and is) embracing innovation: last year, for instance, it launched a digital twin initiative through which the entire airport is being replicated digitally with the aim of optimizing ground operation management. On the ground, the airport also recently completed a new service building made using construction 3D printing technology.

Elon Musk wants you to help create more 3D printed parts for his rockets Aerospace
Maybe it’s because of the new contract that the DoD just awarded to SpaceX help get its Space Force satellites into orbit (and that will bring Elon Musk’s company $2 billion dollars). Maybe it’s just because SpaceX was among the first to understand the benefits of AM for end-use space parts. Either way, the company is now expanding AM activities and looking for new Additive Manufacturing Engineers, and for Process and Applications Development.
First Chinese built COMAC C919 commercial aircraft flies with non-critical 3D printed parts Aerospace
The first COMAC C919 aircraft commenced its maiden flight at Shanghai Pudong International Airport successfully on May 5th, 2017. According to Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) one of the metal 3D printer manufacturers that participated in the project, several 3D printed titanium parts were installed on COMAC’s C919 to reduce the aircraft’s weight and increase its safety. Twenty-eight cabin door parts and two fan inlet structural parts were also installed on the aircraft.
Volkswagen is Ready to Implement Metal Binder Jetting in Production

Brose Enters VX1000 HSS Beta for Additive Series Production
Brose, a global automotive supplier, is now confirmed as one of the first participants in the High-Speed Sintering (HSS) Early-Access Beta Program for the VX1000 HSS 3D printer. The company will work with voxeljet AG as a cooperation partner to further develop the VX1000 HSS for use in additive series production of polymer components for the automotive industry. With HSS, voxeljet combines the advantages of two existing additive technologies: selective laser sintering and binder jetting, giving the benefit of both SLS part properties and binder-jetting productivity. The new VX1000 HSS 3D printer has a significantly larger build volume and a faster print speed than previous systems, enabling true additive series production.
