Launching a new phase for aerospace additive manufacturing
Manage episode 371429982 series 3141616
In this episode, we will discuss two of the biggest additive manufacturing-related announcements coming from the Paris Air Show.
With these two major and highly strategic announcements, Oerlikon is consolidating its leadership in advancing metal AM part production for aero and space applications.
The company revealed it worked with Airbus to industrialize the AM process for serial production of antenna clusters, which resulted in a €3.8 million contract to additively manufacture these satellite components. In addition, Oerlikon AM and ArianeGroup signed a €900,000 order for the production of 3D printed sets of heat exchangers for the upcoming Ariane 6 rocket launcher.
Oerlikon is investing millions of dollars in developing a strong metal AM service offer that can cater to the extreme requirements of companies such as Airbus and ArianeGroup, even for the most safety-critical parts.
Executive Chairman Dr. Michael Seuss and CTO of Surface Solutions Sven Hicken are with us today to discuss the present and future implications of these deals for Oerlikon and the entire AM industry.
