Company Description
3D Systems launched the 3D printing industry in 1986 and has been leading Additive Manufacturing (AM) innovation ever since. Adoption of metal AM in aerospace and defense is only possible when processes meet the same requirements that conventional manufacturing does today. 3D Systems reduces risk and creates a faster ROI for our customers by developing qualified, transferrable, and scalable production processes. This is a key differentiator when developing repeatable, reliable, and scalable production AM applications.

  Capability Description
  Additive manufacturing technologies such as stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) enable designing and building optimised components while reducing lifecycle cost and time-to-market. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing offers three significant benefits:
  1. Speed - directly 3D printing a part from a CAD file dramatically cuts the time from concept, to design, to manufactured part.
  2. Design for function - AM removes the correlation between cost and complexity, enabling functionality to be the leading consideration of part design.
  3. Part count reduction - by rethinking the manufacturing process, design engineers are able to reduce total part counts, streamline part production, and elevate part performance.

  Capability Description
  Adoption of metal additive manufacturing in aerospace and defence is only possible when processes meet the same requirements that conventional manufacturing does today. Our global Application Innovation Group (AIG). reduces risk and creates a faster ROI for our customers by developing qualified, transferrable, and scalable production processes. This is a key differentiator when developing new production additive manufacturing (AM) applications. 3D Systems takes a consultative, application-focused approach to solving the most difficult design and production challenges. The combination of our solutions, expertise, and innovation helps customers eliminate conventional manufacturing limitations and maximise the value of additive manufacturing to their organisations.

  Capability Description
  While AM makes room for innovative designs across a wide range of radio frequencies, many current successes are designs in C, Ku, K, and Ka-band for satellites and ultrawideband (UWB) for ground-based applications. 3D Systems has extensive experience using direct metal printing (DMP) to achieve complex RF components for the most demanding applications. The impact of Direct Metal Printing for Passive RF systems in flight is:
  • Reduced Lead Time
  • Functional Integration
  • Part Count Reduction
  • Reduced Volume, Mass, & Integration Time
  • Flexible Manufacturing for Unique Designs
  • Scalable Component Sizes
  • Reliable Production Scaling
