Aerospace 3D Printing Process

Additium 3D All-in-One 3D Printing Service

Additium 3D's aerospace 3D printing process is meticulous and involves several key steps to ensure the highest quality and accuracy for each project:

Step 1. Aerospace Component Design

Send us your plans, sketches or even a general idea. If you don't have a defined design, we will gather all the necessary information and work with you to create a design adapted to your needs.

Step 2. Get a quote with DFM

Within hours, you will receive a comprehensive design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis along with a detailed quotation.

Step 3. Testing phase

We work closely with you in the testing phase to ensure that the component meets technical standards and your expectations. We perform iterations as needed to refine the design.

Step 4. 3D Manufacturing and Final Production

With the design optimised, we start production using advanced 3D printing technology, adapting to your volume needs, whether for prototypes or large-scale production.

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.

Additive manufacturing materials used in the aerospace industry

We work with high quality materials to meet the exacting standards of the aerospace industry.

Additium 3D, your All-in-One 3D Printing Solution

3D Printing Company for the aerospace industry

Full service: Same investment, twice the productivity

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.

Value what really matters: quality, speed and accessibility. Here, you will not deal with intermediaries; you will speak directly with our technical experts, from the receipt of your files to the production and shipment of your parts.

We are creators, not resellers. And we are proud to produce and manufacture 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.

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

Improve efficiency and reduce costs with customised solutions for your technical and logistical needs and challenges. From design to manufacturing, we offer a comprehensive service to ensure success at every stage.

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.
