Benefits of 3D Printing in the aerospace industry

3D printing offers a number of advantages that are revolutionising the way the aerospace industry works.

Weight reduction

It designs and manufactures lighter components for aircraft and rockets, improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.

Forget about expensive moulds and reduce material waste with sustainable production.
It creates complex structures such as a 3D aerospace fin, impossible to achieve with traditional methods.

Solutions adapted to the specific needs of each client and project.

Aerospace applications of 3D scanning and 3D printing

What applications does 3D printing have in the aerospace industry?

Drone and aircraft parts design

Lighter, stronger drones and aircraft parts optimised for performance and safety.

Satellite Development

Our additive manufacturing processes ensure strong, lightweight structures, essential for the successful design and launch of satellites.

3D scanning: The perfect complement

They allow key components to be analysed, replicated and improved, ensuring precise adjustments and assembly optimisation.

Rapid prototyping of aerospace tools

To create and test functional parts in an agile way, favouring fast and efficient iterations.

Manufacture of complex parts

Intricate designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods.

Printed test pieces for the wind tunnel

Parts with the physical and mechanical characteristics necessary to withstand the test conditions.

Production of customised tooling and tooling

For the manufacture and maintenance of aircraft, optimising processes and reducing waiting times.

Development of final functional parts

Thanks to techniques such as galvanising, they can acquire strength and durability characteristics for direct use.

Research and education

3D printing supports academic projects and experimental testing, pushing the boundaries of knowledge in the sector.

Optimise times and reach new levels of efficiency in your aerospace projects with 3D printing.

3D printing experts for business

Why choose Additium3D 3D printing?

Full service: from design to manufacture

We offer a comprehensive service that covers the whole process. If you only have an idea, we start with the design phase, where we work hand in hand with you to understand your needs and requirements. Finally, we carry out large-scale 3D manufacturing, using advanced technology to produce all the necessary units with the same attention and quality.

We are a real company. You can visit us in Valencia

Value what really matters: quality, speed and accessibility. Here, you won't deal with intermediaries; you'll talk directly to our technical experts, from the reception of your files to the production and shipping of your parts.

We are creators, not resellers. And we pride ourselves on producing and manufacturing everything in-house.

We work closely with you

In the testing phase you can review and validate the prototype. And once we have the finalised design, we start the full-scale production phase to ensure that the result meets your expectations.

"One of the few companies that is a pleasure to work with. Thank you for your services. I will certainly continue to use your services (...)".

Néstor Grande

Art Director at Montiego

ADDITIUM 3D has done some exceptional printing work for me. They scanned my parts and printed them in superior quality.
They have also printed pieces downloaded from public libraries which have been very useful for my models and scale models. They are fast in execution and delivery.

Frequently asked questions

FAQS AEROSPACE 3D PRINTING

The aerospace industry uses 3D printing to produce lightweight, strong parts, optimise complex designs and reduce costs. This technology enables the creation of components for aircraft, rockets and satellites, from prototypes to functional parts, improving the efficiency and performance in space flight and space missions.

In space, 3D printing allows parts to be manufactured directly on space stations, eliminating the need to transport them from Earth. This reduces costs, saves space and allows astronauts to repair equipment or build specific tools quickly and efficiently.

In rocket design, 3D printing makes it possible to create lighter and more efficient engines and components with fewer assembled parts. This not only reduces the overall weight of the rocket, but also reduces manufacturing costs and the time needed to develop new generations of space vehicles.

Before 3D printers, the aviation industry relied on traditional manufacturing methods that were slower, more costly and more design-constrained. This limited the ability to innovate quickly and meant more effort was required to reduce aircraft weight and improve efficiency.

NASA is using 3D printing to make parts on Earth and in space. It has created tools and components on the International Space Station and is exploring their use to build habitats on the Moon or Mars, using local materials such as lunar regolith rather than transporting resources from Earth.

In space, 3D printing faces unique challenges such as microgravity, which requires specific technologies and materials to ensure parts are formed correctly. In addition, printing with reusable or environmentally adapted materials is prioritised in space, while more options and manufacturing freedom are available on Earth.
