Australian metal 3D printing specialistAML3D已宣布与航空航天制造商合作的扩展波音。
今年早些时候，波音公司的任务为AML3D，其中包括3D打印铝原型飞机零件，这是一项密集测试计划的一部分，该计划将其评估为AS9100D质量保证“飞行”零件的要求。在这份合同的基础上，现在已同意将项目范围扩展到另外3D印刷组件的供应中，以使交易的价值提高150％。
“AML3D has already demonstrated to Boeing that our proprietary WAM metal 3D printing technology produces high quality parts on time and to specification,” said Andrew Sales, MD of AML3D. “The expanded purchase contract is strategically important as it moves AML3D towards being embedded into Boeing’s supply chain, which aligns with the delivery of our growth targets for the aerospace sector.”
“This expanded purchase contract with Boeing demonstrates the growing momentum in our commercial relationship with one of the world’s largest aerospace companies.”
AML3D’s WAM Technology
通过结合焊接、机器人、马特里al engineering and proprietary software, AML3D has managed to develop a system capable of automatically 3D printing in a freeform environment. Powered by its Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM) process, the firm’s街3D打印机operates like conventional Directed Energy Deposition (DED) units, in that it layers wire feedstock into parts.
However, unlike most DED systems, the ARCEMY also uses inert gas shielding to negate the need for an enclosed chamber. As a result, AML3D’s machine isn’t bound by the same geometry restrictions that having to print with one imposes, thus it’s able to manufacture large parts 70% cheaper than traditional technologies, while yielding 85% less waste.
该公司利用其位于澳大利亚爱丁堡的设施中安装的街道系统，提供了生产订单组件的最终命令认证的。以前的客户包括Austal，签约AML3Dto 3D print naval defense parts在2020年以及RMIT大学和University of Queensland，AML3D已安装机器以促进学术和行业研发。
最近，该公司通过履行190,000美元的订单来扩大石油和天然气行业的运营埃克森美孚。作为合同的一部分，AML3D3D printed an eight-tonne pressure vessel，在仅十二周的时间里。
针对“飞”零件认证
AML3D于2021年6月开始与波音公司合作，当时它与低膨胀镍铁合金Invar-36的生产和提供3D打印的Mandrel工具。虽然该交易看到了150公斤工具部分的创建和评估，但据说价值少于50,000美元，但它为AML3D提供了机会，有机会证明其按时生产复杂物体和规格的能力。
This was followed by a tour of the firm’s facilities in March, before a Key Purchase Agreement was announced in July 2022, through which the firm began developing Boeing structural test parts from aluminum. The $140,000 (AUD) deal expanded the companies’ partnership, in that it included scope for the testing and validation of various parts in North America, in line with ‘fly’ component standards.
AS9100Dis an internationally recognized standard for quality management systems that demonstrates manufacturers are consistently able to provide products and services which meet aerospace clients’ needs. AML3D is aiming to become only the second wire feedstock 3D printing firm to gain AS9100D accreditation, as it says doing so will allow it to “manufacture fly parts for use in aircraft.”
Expanding on this agreement further, the company has now announced that the deal has gone up in value to $350,000 (AUD), as well as making “solid progress” in its quest for fly part accreditation. In terms of its partnership with Boeing, AML3D says these “next phase” parts are a step towards “additional, more extensive programs in the near future.”
AML3D现在是与世界上最大的航空航天制造商合作开发原型和最终用途零件的几家3D印刷公司之一。去年6月，EOS和Materialise成为第一个3D打印准备的SLS零件为了空中客车通过其最重要的流程规范AIPS 03-07-022。
波音也一直是3D打印的GE9X, an engine equipped with over three hundred additive manufactured parts. These include the famedGE 3D打印燃油喷嘴, a component also said to makeCFM International的LEAP引擎比燃油效率高15％CFM56alternatives.
