比利时总部的飞机组件制造商BMT Aerospace和Pennsylvania-based metal expert木匠技术已经与航空航天行业的3D打印组件签署了合作伙伴关系。该项目已经开始presentation of an AM compatible design of a metal pinion, a vital part of many aerospace components including engines.
Ewald Goossens, Business Unit Manager of BMT Additive, said, “BMT Aerospace strongly believes in the disruptive potential of additive manufacturing and its possibilities in aerospace”
“Our specific knowledge in design and manufacturing in aerospace, and our abilities in custom design for metal additive manufacturing, are a perfect match with Carpenter Technology’s knowledge of high quality and innovative products.”
From metal to additive
BMT航空航天是BMT Group是一家公司，拥有29个地理，技术，海洋和其他各个部门的子公司。The BMT Group also has a dedicated 3D printing subsidiary under the nameBMT添加剂.The aerospace subsidiary of the group manufactures gears and other mechanical components includingturbine engine gearboxes, ring gears, shafts, and couplings. Such components are used on aircraft like波音787. BMT航空航天还提供了齿轮和变速箱Rolls Royce和Safran.
The new partner of BMT Aerospace, Carpenter Technology is a manufacturer of industrial alloys used in the energy, medical, aerospace, and defense sector. In the recent past, Carpenter Technology has shown a lot of interest in 3D printing, investing a significant amount of money to acquire AM material companies likePuris LLC和CalRAM. Earlier this year, the metal expert also established木匠添加剂，一个由AM材料投资组合和与3D打印有关的R＆D项目负责的部门。
On working with BMT Aerospace, Marshall Akins, Carpenter’s Vice President, Aerospace Markets, said, “Collaborations like the one with BMT Aerospace demonstrate how partnerships across raw material, production, validation and design can rapidly bring to commercial reality new parts with next step performance potential […] Carpenter Additive’s suite of capabilities presents powerful tools to accelerate our customer’s additive aspirations.”
航空航天中的3D打印
Exploring the possibilities of 3D printing, BMT Aerospace and Carpenter Technology redesigned a pinion. The part was made at Carpenter Additive using a proprietary465不锈钢。BMT Aerospace完成了零件的后处理和验证。Pinons上周在2019年巴黎航展上发表的演讲，是高性能材料和零件的一个例子，这些材料和零件将通过其合作而成为可能。
在Salon du Bourget 2019的其他新闻中CFM International,GE Additive， 和Safran Aircraft Engines关闭a数十亿美元的交易对于启用3D打印的LEAP引擎，T他欧洲航天局(ESA) initiated theDesign4AM项目，GKN航空航天对3D打印作出了各种承诺3300万英镑的空运和大坝程式。
