Giant satellite fuel tank sets record for 3D printed space parts
Lockheed Martin has embraced a 3-D printed titanium dome for satellite fuel tanks so big you can’t even put your arms around it. The 46-inch- (1.16-meter-) diameter vessel completed final rounds of quality testing in July, ending a multi-year development program to create giant, highpressure tanks that carry fuel on board satellites.
Siemens uses AM to produce gas turbines
Additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to become a new key technology. For example it opens up new attractive prospects in the manufacture of gas turbines.
AM is a sustainable technology
As an emerging manufacturing process, Additive Manufacturing (AM) not only has the potential to change the landscape for product development, manufacturing and logistics, it can also improve sustainability across a variety of industries.
TWI is in collaborative project to promote AM
The increased design freedom and potential to reduce manufacturing time has made additive manufacturing (AM) technology an area of great interest to industry.
