Increased competition, poor program performance, and growing order backlogs are forcing aerospace and defense companies to improve efficiency wherever possible. In manufacturing, companies are improving the “buy to fly” ratio by using additive manufacturing for prototyping 3D printed tools, jigs, fixtures, and finished goods. This approach gets raw material close to the finished part, minimizing raw material cost and waste. By making parts on an as-needed basis at the location of service, additive manufacturing reduces inventory and shipping costs.
Our additive manufacturing solution enables a seamless, end-to-end production process, integrating design, engineering and manufacturing, and eliminating data conversion between processes. Our data management and shop floor connectivity solutions ensure a closed-loop manufacturing process using a single source of data for a truly industrialized 3D printing process.
Additive manufacturing, supported by our solutions, allows companies to reimagine products, retool manufacturing, and rethink business models.
