A professor of civil engineering at Purdue University is developing a new type of runway mat for temporary flight operations using metal additive manufacturing. The project, which is being conducted in collaboration with Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO), recently received a grant worth $1 million from the U.S. Air Force.
US-based CRP USA manufactured three engineering models for Mini-Cubes. It is the first time that entire PocketQube functional flight-ready prototypes are manufactured using a Carbon-reinforced composite material – Windform XT 2.0 – and the laser sintering process
Redwire, a new leader in mission critical space solutions and high reliability components for the next generation space economy, announced today the hiring of Al Tadros as its Chief Growth Officer and Executive Vice President of Space Infrastructure, effective August 24. Redwire acquired Made In Space earlier this summer.
The National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University in Alabama has received a $3 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will support a two-year research project aimed at improving commercial air travel with 3D printed metal components.
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.
AM Craft, a Latvia-based aerospace additive manufacturing service provider, has purchased four large-scale F900 3D printers from Stratasys, marking one of the 3D printing company’s largest single orders to date. AM Craft will utilize the production-grade 3D printers to produce a variety of aircraft interior components, including parts for aircraft seating, paneling and ducting. The AM technology will enable AM Craft to offer its customers a higher degree of customization for aircraft interior applications.
