Aerospace & Defence

The aerospace industry has been an early adopter of additive
manufacturing, leveraging its ability to produce lightweight, highstrength components with unparalleled precision. amace Solutions
has worked extensively with titanium alloys, Inconel, and
aluminium to address the sector’s stringent requirements.

Lightweight Structures: Weight reduction is critical for improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. AM enables the creation of lattice structures and thin-walled components that maintain strength while minimizing weight.
Turbine Blades and Engine Parts: High-performance materials like Inconel are used to manufacture turbine blades and engine nozzles capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures.
Satellite Components: With the rise of small satellites, AM is ideal for producing compact, intricate components that meet the space industry’s demanding specifications.
Prototyping and Tooling: AM accelerates the design validation process by enabling rapid prototyping of airframes, fixtures, and tooling.

Benefits for Aerospace and Defense

Up to 60% weight reduction compared to conventional
methods.
Enhanced fuel efficiency and performance.
Shortened lead times for critical parts.
Consolidation of assemblies into single components, reducing potential failure points.

Aerospace sector has been at the forefront of utilisation of additive manufacturing techniques for many years where it has progressed from prototyping to full-fledged production. In a sector where weight reduction can play a huge role in performance and efficiency, additive manufacturing has emerged as a go to solution. It is believed that Aero companies are willing to pay up to €1,000 to reduce 1 kg of weight from the aircraft and for space projects this value can go up to €10,000. Amace solutions enables aerospace manufacturers to 3D print parts that are more cost-effective compared to machining them from solid blocks of exotic materials like Inconel or titanium. Without the limitations of traditional manufacturing, parts can be consolidated and productionised in a short period of time. With amace’s eco system of solutions, support can be extended right from design for AM to post processing.
