3D printing has been making a big impact in various industries all around the world, by streamlining design and prototyping processes, and by allowing for the creation of more complex parts. Recently, we learned about how additive manufacturing technologies were making a difference at the Brazilian Air Force’s Institute of Advanced Studies (IEAv) in its Aerothermodynamics and Experimental Hypersonic Division. Through the use of a powerful Stratasys Fortus 900mc Production 3D printer, the IEAv has advanced its methods for testing prototypes and has found a more cost and time effective way of validating the flight feasibility of new parts.
According to a researcher from the IEAv, the Institute had been searching for a way to speed up the experimental and development process for its new aerospace components. 3D printing became an increasingly viable option for this, especially after the IEAv found success in additively manufacturing a spec...
