Engineers use industrial 3D printing technology to print lightweight metal parts

As we all know, the aerospace industry is famous for innovation. Today, the Dassault falcon is used to test the pilot's future flight commands, how to design the display, and, importantly, how the warning system works. Reducing the pressure on pilots so that they can make better decisions under pressure is the key, while allowing them to get a better view in bad weather. Augmented reality and synthetic vision will certainly become more suitable for pilots in the future, as well as voice control, which to some extent improves the efficiency of pilots. It is even possible to let VTOL leave the runway completely, which is the technology that helicopters are better at using at present.
With the development of various software programs, 3D visual tools and 3D printing production in the future. At present, innovative technologies such as 3D printer cabin parts, military replacement parts and fuselage parts have been developed. When it comes to smaller aircraft and larger jets, just a few examples. Airlines around the world are enjoying the benefits of 3D design and 3D printing, and as the trend continues, companies such as Honeywell are also testing various 3D printing parts. Although these parts are usually much cheaper than those made with traditional technology and materials, the focus is still on safety, efficiency and higher durability. These companies can also significantly reduce manufacturing time - this is a big advantage!
At present, Honeywell is engaged in industrial 3D printing, manufacturing new metal parts such as titanium and nickel. This makes the components have great strength (some of them can not be manufactured without 3D printing technology), and the weight is also quite light, which is an important feature in flight.
"If we can print parts quickly instead of waiting for months to order and receive them, then we will have the greatest success in this area," said engineer don Godfrey With 3D printing, engineers can also simplify the design and eliminate unnecessary complexity, such as the Honeywell thermal anti ice valve: "we deleted 52 parts," Godfrey said. "Many parts are composed of nuts, bolts, washers and O-rings. But if it's not there, the O-rings will never leak. "
With the development of aerospace industry, many other large companies are integrating 3D printing into their manufacturing processes - from automobiles to buildings to medical treatment. The DIY community is also changing as designers around the world like the constant supply of new materials and software and hardware, without wasting time or money on third parties that used to make them.
