A conventional manufacturing process requires up to ten times more raw material than the final product, whereas additive manufacturing requires only 1.5 times as much, the company reminds. This makes it easier to produce complex structures than with conventional methods. In this way, the desired shapes are created layer by layer. While conventional machining involves milling components out of solid blocks, AM uses laser beams to melt metal or plastic powders. The company that recently demonstrates how it saves on raw material and fuel costs with metal 3D printed partsis using AM for both prototyping and mass production purposes. With over 9,400 locking shafts produced today via Additive Manufacturing, Airbus Helicopters is taking the next phase on its journey with the opening of its 3D printing centre, at its Donauwörth site.Īirbus strives to provide the most efficient helicopter solutions to its customers who serve, protect, save lives and safely carry passengers in demanding environments.
