Our end-to-end expertise allows us to imbue value at every stage of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) cycle. We know what it takes to take a part from a concept to a complete, commercial-ready solution. Learn more about our end-to-end expertise and contact us to explore your additive manufacturing potential or collaboration opportunities.
We work closely with a diverse network of research and educational institutions, local small-medium enterprises, airline partners and international brands to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the AM industry. Our efforts at building an AM R&D ecosystem include:
We make targeted improvements to additive manufactured parts to maximise performance. We can also turn your concepts into reality. These enhancements are made possible through:
Our experience in qualification means that we know what it takes to bring new materials and systems into the aviation industry effectively. This expedites the certification process for AM components.
We have developed a series of proprietary process specifications, which has been accepted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, ensuring complete process controls that cover:
Our qualified systems include:
We also possess defined design and production interfacing procedures to ensure an integrated workflow for optimised quality and safety. Learn more.
Successful 3D printing of the component does not always mean it is ready for use. There are necessary post-processing steps to ensure form and function go hand in hand, that the component is aesthetically complete and durable as promised.
Our post-processing know-how comprises:
With us, integration goes beyond providing customers with an end-to-end solution to all their needs. We also integrate changes to our design and print processes to minimise post-processing needs.
Additive manufacturing, while gaining traction, remains more a novelty than the norm within the aviation industry. To boost user confidence, all our AM materials, processes, and products are put through a rigorous validation and verification programme.
We have established our own qualified, proprietary workflow and processes through research and development, careful statistical studies and continuous testing.
The verification and validation process on our products and prints could comprise any combination of:
In the aviation industry, components meant for flight operations must be certified before they can be installed on aircraft. With our certification network and track record with the various aviation authorities, we are able to provide customers with certified parts and solutions.
Our available global certification options include:
