In order to address the current challenges that the aviation industry is facing due to COVID-19 restrictions, Boeing seems set to continue to invest in the future through cutting-edge, additive manufacturing technologies to unleash possibilities and leverage 3D printing – including but not limited to EOS and SLM Solutions metal systems – in the design and manufacturing of parts and tools. The aerospace giant just released a video from inside Boeing’s Auburn site in Washington State: the Boeing Additive Manufacturing (BAM) Fabrication Center was established to further the company’s efforts to develop repeatable, stable and reliable additive manufacturing processes, and meet certification and qualification requirements to increase additive manufacturing production of fly-away parts and systems.

Lockheed picks Relativity’s 3D printed rocket for NASA Tipping Point selection Aerospace

by Aerospace

Lockheed Martin picked Relativity for the NASA Tipping Point mission. Relativity signed a contract with Lockheed to provide its rockets for a particularly complex mission Lockheed is undertaking for NASA’s Tipping Point program. While Relativity has not yet flown any fully 3D printed rocket, its technology promises to produce rockets in days instead of months once the development process will have been completed).
