EOSenters 3D printing aircraft MRO partnership with Etihad Airways

Under a new agreement, leading additive manufacturing technology supplierEOSwill be contributing to aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) atEtihad Airways Engineering.

阿提哈德(Atihad)是中东最大的MRO服务,近年来一直在加强其3D印刷工作3D打印机制造商Bigrep,与西门子合作,以及aerostructure manufacturer Strata Manufacturing.

“阿提哈德(Atihad)不断投资新技术,并将增材制造确定为航空内部零件的关键技术,以及未来航空航天范围之外的应用。” Atih雷电竞充值ad Airways Engineering副总裁设计,工程和创新。

“The technology is a key enabler when it comes to design and innovation in our industry.”

At present, the end goal of the EOS collaboration is to produce 3D printed cabin interiors, using polymer technology. Toward this end, Etihad Airways has already installed 3D printed screen surrounds into the seats of its airplanes.

为了扩展这些功能,EOS将首先必须符合根据航空法规制作机舱零件的机器,过程和材料的资格。

EOS P 396位于“添加剂制造系统”的中心,该系统将应用于任务。雷电竞充值它的中型构建体积为340 x 340 x 600毫米,其前身eosint P395的能源消耗得到了改善。它由IPCM P加机械粉末处理系统完成。

将生产提升到一个新的水平

After qualification, EOS and Etihad will then work together to develop aerospace-grade materials and industry-specific additive manufacturing capabilities. Eventually, the plan is to roll-out EOS 3D printing abilities across the broader Etihad ecosystem.

EOS的高级副总裁出口区Markus Glasser总结说:“阿提哈德正在提供行业领先的飞机维护和工程解决方案,[…]我们很荣幸能够支持我们的合作伙伴进行这一创新之旅,因此可以使飞机内部零件生产到一个新的水平。”
