Innovation and experimentation are trademarks of the aerospace industry. With 3D printing, prototypes can be developed for even the most challenging geometries in a matter of hours rather than the weeks required in the past.
Quick design changes can be made in a simple tweak to a computer file and the new part can be ready for testing quickly with 3D printing.
Eliminating the need for expensive tooling during the design process can free designers to focus on creating lighter weight structures, boosting efficiency, reducing emissions, and other important factors. EnvisionTEC 3D printers can contribute to 3D printing both prototypes and production parts with a wide range of options in both machinery and materials.
