Multinational conglomerate Honeywell announced this week that it has obtained the first FAA certification for a flight-critical aircraft engine component made using 3D printing. The part in question, #4/5 bearing housing, is a major structural component in the ATF3-6 turbofan engine aboard the Dassault Falcon 20G maritime patrol aircraft, commonly used by the French Navy for rescue and patrol missions. The 3D printed component is already in production and has reportedly already been installed in an in-service aircraft.

Singapore-based Additive Flight Solutions (AFS), an aerospace AM venture founded by Stratasys and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) announced it has received AS9100D certification and is registered with International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), a global body that governs quality management within the aerospace industry’s global supply chain.

Precision ADM, Inc., a Canadian AM solutions provider based in Winnipeg, has received AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certifications, enabling it to manufacture components for the aerospace industry.

Lufthansa Technik, a supplier of maintenance, repair and overhaul services (MRO) for aircraft and engines, has opened an Additive Manufacturing Center.
