Additive Manufacturing with Composites in Aerospace and Defense
Jordan Weininger from the Advanced Composites Office on Hill Air Force Base shares insights into DoD applications of additive manufacturing.
Aircraft Nozzle
VZLU was having difficulty sourcing cost-effective methods for producing components in a new wing design. Prototyping can be the longest and most expensive stage of design, and many of VZLU's scaled model designs pushed the limit of what traditional manufacturing could do.
Aircraft Bracket Forming Tool
One of the first applications Top Flight Aerostructures found value in was forming tools. This tool — printed in Onyx reinforced with continuous fiberglass — was used in a 100 ton hydraulic press to form an edge support bracket for a C-5M Galaxy, the largest cargo plane in the American military.
