Florida based, metal AM forerunner, Sintavia, LLC, announced today that it had developed full end-to-end parameters for producing additively manufactured parts in F357 aluminum, as well as other Al-Si alloys, for use in precision manufacturing. Sintavia’s proprietary process for printing F357 aluminum powder was developed specifically to address aerospace and automotive industry needs for components with low density, good processability, and heat conductivity. Though most aluminum alloy parts are manufactured using traditional casting practices, Sintavia is changing the landscape for industries looking to expand beyond traditional manufacturing in foundry-grade aluminum alloys.
Dayton, Ohio, based Unison Industries announced that it has been selected by Textron Aviation, a Textron Inc company, to provide additively manufactured air-air heat exchangers for the new Cessna Denali high performance single engine turboprop. With a maximum occupancy of 11, the clean sheet Denali single engine turboprop will be powered by GE Aviation’s Advanced Turboprop Engine and is targeted to achieve first flight in 2018.
