Pellet extrusion 3D printers offer significant performance advantages for aerospace manufacturers compared to conventional production techniques.
As 3D printing advances, aerospace manufacturers have become increasingly reliant on the technology for disparate production processes. In large-part production, for example, aerospace manufacturers can now print complex parts using simple designs that begin with minimal components, reducing the risk of part failure.
While 3D printing with plastic filaments offers a reliable method for small-part production, it represents a considerable cost for large-part production. As a result, major companies in industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to foundry and healthcare have adopted pellet extrusion 3D printing technology, which offers lower total cost for both ownership and part production.
Production-grade 3D printers with industrial control systems minimize machine downtime, speed up production, and reduce costs, but choosing the right solution can be daunting. The following guide presents 10 factors to consider when choosing the right solution for large-format part production.
