Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing clear Materials clear

Facing Up to New Challenges in Aerospace

Aerospace is an incredibly exacting industry. Everything from design to manufacturing to maintenance must go exactly as planned to keep planes flying safely, and even when they do, mistakes can happen, leading to tragedy.

Structured Vision in Manufacturing

Structured light systems measure surfaces by projecting a pattern of fringes, then using cameras and sophisticated software to convert them into point clouds of metrology data. Accuracy can reach the single-digit microns over millions of points.

Beyond Niche: Alternative Manufacturing for Aerospace Parts

A typical commercial jetliner contains millions of discrete components, yet provided the plane arrives at its destination safely, on schedule, and hopefully without a screaming baby behind them, most of the flying public could care less how any of those parts were made.

Saving Soldiers

Giving service members and their dependents a helping hand. Or maybe a leg. Or, sometimes, a second chance at life.

Printing Payback

Thinking of buying a 3D printer but concerned about ROI? As Donnie Brasco said, “Forget about it.”

It’s Not a Game

San Diego research engineer turns an enjoyable pastime into a life-saving passion

Formula to FARA

Fast bikes, fast cars and very fast aircraft—Justin Rivera likes them all, and he sees additive manufacturing as the path to make them even faster
