How 3D Printing
is Making a Difference
Lightweight Design & Topology
Optimized Structures
- Advantage: LPBF technology enables topology optimization and lattice structures to significantly reduce weight while maintaining mechanical strength.
- Problem Solved: Reduces the structural weight of aerospace components, improving fuel efficiency and increasing payload capacity without compromising strength.
- Typical Application: Drone Brackets
High-Temperature & Oxidation
Resistant Superalloys
- Advantage: Supports the use of nickel-based superalloys (e.g., Inconel 718, Inconel 625) for extreme heat and oxidation resistance.
- Problem Solved: Enhances durability and longevity of components exposed to extreme thermal and oxidative environments in aerospace applications.
- Typical Application: Oxidizer Valve Body
Large-Scale Integral Building
- Advantage: Enables the fabrication of large, high-precision aerospace parts in a single build, reducing the need for assembly and welding.
- Problem Solved: Eliminates weak points from traditional multi-part assemblies, improving structural integrity and reducing post-processing complexity.
- Typical Application: Rocket Thrust Chamber
