In 3D printing a object to be manufactured is built by adding material layer by layer successively. 3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing as the material is added in layers. Usually a 3D printer takes... input from a CAD (Computer Aided Design) model. The main advantage of 3D printing is its compactness. A 3D printer uses less material, it doesn’t require any king mould, once a design alteration is made it can right away be printed.
How has aerospace industry adapted to this technology?
Aerospace industry is a early user of this technology. It has been using 3D printing since 1989. Aerospace components are printed using 3D printers. But with technological advancements major parts are being 3D printed nowadays. 3D printing components and parts are just a sample of its ability. With innovative technologies such as generative design evolving in the filed of aerospace, 3D printing remains as the only manufacturing solution.
