The aerospace industry leverages additive manufacturing (AM) for rapid response to supply chain shifts and labor availability. AM enables on-demand MRO, spare parts production, and innovation in Urban Air Mobility. This method simplifies manufacturing processes, allowing for unattended fabrication of end-use carbon fiber composites and high-performance thermoplastics, cutting lead times and costs.
The e-book explores AM’s role in aerospace, compliance challenges, overlooked applications, advanced materials, and automated inspection technologies.
