Aerospace
The aerospace industry uses 3D printing to manufacture end-use parts, prototype, alleviate supply chain constraints, limit warehouse space, cut storage costs and reduce wasted production materials. It is also using the technology to explore groundbreaking innovation, via reducing commercial aeroplane travel emissions, constructing in space and even bio printing in space.
As the aerospace industry continues to see the value of 3D printing, we can expect more companies to begin developing on-site 3D printing operations and investing in the technology. Indeed, on-site printing capabilities offer groundbreaking real-time design, processing, trial, and implementation of customized components.
