Applications in
Aerospace industry
In recent decades, additive manufacturing has been a strategic ally of the aerospace industry thanks to the versatility to build very complex geometries in high-performance types of materials.
Materials such as ULTEM 9085 have proven to be an excellent option to replace metal for internal and external parts for airships due to their efficiency in reducing lead times, and being a lightweight option.
Smart3D Materials has a broad catalog for extreme conditions, suitable for working at high and low temperatures, resistant to radiation and aggressive chemicals such as fuels, acids, and corrosive solutions, and also with inherently flame retardant features.
Recommended to use in:
- Prototyping
- Exterior lightweight parts like ducts and vents
- Interior lightweight parts like handles and fixtures
- Spare parts production
- Chemical and oil resistant parts
Applications in
Manufacturing industry
A quick and affordable access to tool assemblies, jigs and fixtures have made of additive manufacturing a game changer for production lines. From flexible assembly fixtures to prevent damage to painted parts, or prevent dents on delicate parts, to highly precise jigs to increase repeatability and accuracy, and even end-use parts with great surface finish.
Within the advantages of using Smart3D Materials are replacing heavy and expensive metal fixtures with highly customizable light weight tools and devices, reducing lead time on these parts, and always having the right material even on heavy duty applications, where high heat or chemical contact might be to problem
Recommended to use in:
- Fixtures to be in contact with painted parts
- Shock absorbers
- Lightweight tools
Applications in
