Aerospace Solutions

Overview

Aerospace manufacturing level is a yardstick for measuring a country's scientific and technological strength, and it also directly reflects the level of development of human technology. Most products are composed of millions of parts, with a wide variety and complex structures, and have extremely high requirements for stability, safety, lightweight, and refinement. Based on this, the design and manufacturing of parts in each link have extremely high process requirements and quality standards. Metal 3D printing technology can fully meet the needs in terms of complex structure forming, lightweight design, and shortened production cycle, and has become the backbone of promoting the rapid development of the aerospace manufacturing industry.

Applications

Parts Manufacturing and Prototyping

The aerospace industry has extremely high requirements for lightweighting to improve the performance and efficiency of aircraft. 3D printing technology can realize advanced design concepts such as topology optimization, and by adjusting the internal structure and material distribution, it can produce parts that are both strong and lightweight, which helps to achieve lightweighting of aircraft.

Quickly repair damaged parts

In the aviation field, major equipment is expensive, and once it fails or is damaged, traditional repair methods are often time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, 3D printing technology can quickly print the required replacement parts according to the shape and size of the damaged parts, greatly shortening the repair time and reducing maintenance costs.

Flexibility and efficiency

3D printing technology can realize the manufacturing of complex and difficult-to-process parts. Traditional manufacturing methods often have difficulty in handling complex geometric shapes and internal structures, while 3D printing technology can directly print parts with complex shapes by stacking them layer by layer, greatly improving manufacturing flexibility and efficiency.

Lightweight design

The aerospace industry has high requirements for lightweighting, as lightweighting can improve the performance and efficiency of aircraft. 3D printing technology can achieve lightweighting by optimizing the design, while also reducing the use of materials, thereby reducing the total weight of the aircraft.

丰厚的材料选择

选择合适的材料对于实现轻量化设计至关重要。例如,可以选择轻量、耐磨、高温等特性的材料,以满足航空航天领域的特殊需求。这种材料选择的灵活性使得3D打印能够在保证性能的前提下,尽可能地减轻飞行器的重量。

一体化结构设计

将原来分散的、需要连接的零件集成为一个大的部件,减少零件组合时的连接部分,降低重量,便于设计者进行整体最优化设计。这种设计方式不仅提高了产品的整体性能,还进一步推动了轻量化设计的发展。

零部件整合

与传统复杂的航空航天零部件包含多个简单零件不同,增材制造可以将多个简单零件整合成一个整体,并实现功能集成,且不会出现类似焊接、螺栓等紧固件连接和装配,这将减少用于检查、加工和维护零部件的成本。

小批量生产和周转时间

该技术能够根据需求制造试验和更换零部件,以便快速交付和安装。这可以减少故障时间和相关成本。同时,该技术可以在不同地方制造所需零部件,而不是集中在一个制造工厂。这也会降低运输和存储成本。

Advantages of Electron Beam Melting over Laser Melting

1. Scanning and forming can be performed by manipulating the magnetic deflection coil, without mechanical inertia. 2. The vacuum environment of the electron beam can also prevent the metal powder from being oxidized during liquid phase sintering or melting. 3. Laser deflection requires a galvanometer and a cooling system, and the focal length is difficult to change quickly. The electron beam deflection and focusing control is faster and more precise.
