GKN Aerospace announces two new AM research programs Aerospace

by Aerospace

GKN Aerospace is to lead two ground-breaking collaborative additive manufacturing research programs, AIRLIFT and DAM and will inject its unique Laser Metal Deposition by wire (LMD-w) AM technology in the programs. AIRLIFT and DAM are focused on making AM serial production ready at high rates and exploring how AM can revolutionize product design for high value, high complexity product manufacture. The aim is to accelerate industrialization and increase GKN Aerospace’s market share in the growing global AM market.

SPEE3D’s innovative LightSPEE3D machine proved that 3D metal printing could be fast and cheap. The development of the large format WarpSPEE3D printer proves that it can also be extra large. Targeted towards production, WarpSPEE3D performs a different role to the smaller LightSPEE3D model. While lightSPEE3D is ideal for materials experimentation, process development and printing small parts, WarpSPEE3D is able to produce industrial components in a matter of hours that could take 6-12 months using traditional casting methods.
