3D printing is an invaluable manufacturing tool for aerospace innovation with the ability to produce complex external shapes and internal geometries. No other manufacturing tool lets aerospace engineers prototype and produce end-use parts to exceptionally low tolerances, with unequalled repeatability at minimal cost in-house. However, the technology – which builds

Train maintenance problems are becoming commonplace due to parts shortages and manufacturing constraints. Grounding a train is the last resort, but operators are faced with no alternative if serviceable parts are unavailable. A railway sector company recently faced this problem when the silicone boot seal for a train braking system

Post-Processing 3D printed prosthetics for comfort, safety and strength with AMT PostPro. One commonly cited limitation of 3D printing is the surface finish of 3D printed parts, which usually have visible layers – the opposite of injection moulded parts, which are perfectly smooth and ready to go. Thankfully, you can
