Additive Manufacturing for Defence and Aerospace Summit 2015

Additive Manufacturing for Defence and Aerospace pushes academics and industry to break their technological boundaries by focusing on final part production as a key element in changing the dynamic of AM in Aerospace and Defence.

Aerospace and Defence currently represents over 10% of the global Additive Manufacturing (AM) market, also known as 3D printing. The metal Additive Manufacturing sector alone has grown by over 70% in the last 15 years. Industry primes widely acknowledge that AM will usher in a new era of design innovation and be pivotal in reducing production costs and simplifying logistics in the future.

An Additive Manufacturing patent is produced every 6 hours in the United States, therefore the potential for AM within the Aerospace and Defence industry in Europe cannot be underestimated as 3D printing is likely to spearhead a manufacturing revolution that will transform military supply chains.
