Stratasys’ ULTEM™ 9085 resin is certified to an Airbus material
specification and is used in Stratasys’ FDM (Fused Deposition
Modelling) based additive manufacturing solutions. By combining a
high strength-to-weight ratio with FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity)
compliance for aircraft flight parts, ULTEM 9085 enables the
production of strong, lighter weight parts while substantially
lowering manufacturing costs and production time.
“In 2014 Airbus produced a significant amount of parts on its
Stratasys FDM-based 3D Printers for use in new A350 XWB aircraft,
enabling Airbus to meet delivery commitments on-time. We are
pleased to support Airbus as they industrialize the inclusion of
Stratasys 3D printed parts in the A350 XWB production supply chain,
ensuring that suppliers will be able to support continued scheduled
aircraft deliveries,” said Andy Middleton, President, Stratasys
EMEA.
Additive manufacturing brings new levels of efficiency and
flexibility to production supply chains by enabling parts to be
produced on demand and at locations optimized for delivery to final
assembly lines. It also significantly improves the buy-to-fly ratio
as less material is wasted compared to conventional manufacturing
methods.
“We see the demand for our additive manufacturing solutions
coming from a variety of time-sensitive industries, including
everything from aerospace and automotive to medical and consumer
products,” added Andy Middleton, President, Stratasys EMEA. “By
adopting Stratasys additive manufacturing strategies in supply
chain management, companies can not only protect time to market
commitments but also increase product innovation while decreasing
inventory requirements.”
