3D printer OEM Stratasys has worked with Swedish software developer Hexagon to develop a way of fully-unlocking the aerospace potential of its Antero materials.
Using Hexagon simulation technology, the firms have discovered that it’s possible to model how parts 3D printed from Stratasys’ reinforced PEKK materials will behave, before they are ever manufactured. The companies say adopting their approach could make it easier for engineers to take advantage of lightweighting and sustainability opportunities in aerospace, an industry where such validation is vital.
“As the aerospace industry continues to push for more sustainable designs, unlocking the lightweighting potential of thermoplastics and 3D printing will be key,”…
