Aerospace 3D Printing FAQ’s
Common questions regarding polymers, composites, and certification.
Yes. ULTEM™ 9085 is an FST-rated (Flame, Smoke, Toxicity) thermoplastic that meets FAR 25.853 requirements, making it the industry standard for commercial aircraft interiors.
Absolutely. Our certified support team provides on-site installation, annual maintenance, and emergency technical support for certain hardware installations.
Additive manufacturing allows for the rapid production of ‘legacy’ parts that are no longer in production, as well as custom jigs and fixtures. By printing these tools in-house or on-demand, airlines and defense contractors can significantly reduce AOG (Aircraft on Ground) times from weeks to days.
Absolutely. Our specialised training programs cover everything from basic machine operation to advanced ‘Design for Additive Manufacturing’ (DfAM). We focus on ensuring your team understands how to utilize high-performance composites and navigate the technical requirements for aerospace part validation.
Yes, we encourage it. We offer print demos where we take your specific CAD geometry and produce a functional benchmark. This allows your engineering team to verify tolerances, surface finish, and mechanical properties before making a hardware investment.
