Weight is Everything
Every gram saved in aerospace translates directly to fuel savings, increased payload, or extended range. Traditional manufacturing limits the geometries that achieve minimum weight.
Complex Internal Geometries
Cooling channels, ducting, and manifolds with internal passages are expensive or impossible to produce with CNC machining or casting.
Certification & Traceability
Aerospace parts require full material traceability, documented mechanical properties, and compliance with stringent quality standards.
3D Printing Solutions for Aerospace
Topology-Optimized Structures
Print lattice-filled and topology-optimized brackets, mounts, and structural components that achieve 30–60% weight reduction while maintaining load capacity.
Internal Cooling Channels
SLS and FDM produce parts with fully enclosed internal channels, conformal cooling passages, and manifold geometries — printed as a single piece.
Rapid Prototype Validation
Validate aerodynamic surfaces, duct routing, and assembly interfaces with functional prototypes in 3–5 business days.
Low-Volume Flight Hardware
Produce flight-qualified polymer components for UAVs, satellites, and experimental aircraft without mold investment.

Aerospace Quality & Documentation
We provide full material traceability, batch-specific datasheets, and first-article inspection reports for aerospace projects. Our SLS PA12 and FDM PC-CF/PA-GF materials come with documented tensile, flexural, and impact properties. For flight hardware, we can supply process documentation to support your AS9100 quality management system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which material offers the best strength-to-weight ratio?
PC-CF delivers 90 MPa tensile at just 1.2 g/cm3 density. PA-GF provides 95 MPa with higher temperature resistance. SLS PA12 is ideal for complex shapes where isotropic properties matter.
Can 3D printed parts be used on aircraft?
For UAVs and experimental aircraft, SLS PA12 and PC-CF parts are widely used. For certified manned aircraft, consult your airworthiness authority on material qualification requirements.
How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency?
We maintain calibrated equipment, fixed process parameters, and material lot tracking. Dimensional inspection reports are available for critical components.
Can you print parts with integrated mounting features?
Yes. Heat-set inserts, threaded bosses, and locating pins can be designed directly into the printed part, reducing assembly hardware and weight.
What is the maximum part size for aerospace components?
FDM: 250 x 210 x 210 mm. SLS: 220 x 220 x 330 mm. Larger components can be printed in sections and bonded with aerospace-grade adhesives.
