Carpenter Technology and BMT Aerospace Combine Expertise in Redesign and Production of Additively Manufactured Aerospace Comp...
June 14 2019 - 9:17AM
Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) and Belgium-based BMT
Aerospace today announced their cooperation in the development of
an additively manufactured (AM) aerospace pinion, using Carpenter
Technology’s Custom 465® Stainless.
BMT Aerospace and its subsidiary BMT Additive
initiated the project by partnering with Carpenter Technology to
produce a redesigned pinion. The redesign project was initiated to
enable the benefits of additive manufacturing using high quality,
printable material that would attain the high-performance
expectations for the application. “BMT Aerospace strongly believes
in the disruptive potential of additive manufacturing and its
possibilities in aerospace,” explained Ewald Goossens, Business
Unit Manager of BMT Additive. “As a small player in the market, we
strongly believe in cooperation opportunities like these, where
each partner can rely and build on a project, starting from its own
expertise. Our specific knowledge in design and manufacturing in
aerospace, and our abilities in custom design for metal additive
manufacturing, are a perfect match with Carpenter Technology’s
knowledge of high quality and innovative products.”
The cooperation between the two companies
resulted in an optimized and simplified manufacturing process for
the aerospace part via AM and introduces the opportunity to expand
AM part production further across multiple applications. Parts were
printed by Carpenter Technology’s business unit Carpenter Additive,
using their high-strength, Custom 465® Stainless. Design,
validation and post-processing for the redesigned pinion was done
by BMT Aerospace. Both companies present the redesigned and printed
pinion at their respective booths in Le Bourget, France.
“Collaborations like the one with BMT Aerospace
demonstrate how partnerships across raw material, production,
validation and design can rapidly bring to commercial reality new
parts with next step performance potential,” said Marshall Akins,
Carpenter’s Vice President, Aerospace Markets. “Carpenter
Additive’s suite of capabilities presents powerful tools to
accelerate our customer’s additive aspirations.”
