Airbus, bringing the expected reactivity, tighter turnaround times
and lower inventory costs.
“We are proud to work with Airbus to continually advance 3D
printing in aerospace applications,” said Joe Allison, CEO of
Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. “Our expertise in building parts
ready for installation on the aircraft, along with our unique
process controls and quality procedures, will allow Airbus to
improve competitiveness leveraging on the technical benefits of 3D
printing.”
Stratasys, the parent company of Stratasys Direct Manufacturing,
and Airbus share a history of collaboration, having worked together
since 2013 on the implementation of 3D printing FDM technology for
Airbus tools and flying parts applications. This collaboration led
to the qualification in 2014 of ULTEM 9085 material for the
production of flying parts on Airbus aircrafts. Since 2015, Airbus
has installed thousands of FDM flying parts on aircrafts.
