Possibilities of using 3D printing technology in production of aircraft components
(University of Zilina, 2021) Šajbanová, Kristína; Čerňan, Jozef; Janovec, Michal
The article provides the reader with a brief overview of the technology of industrial 3D printing used in the manufacturing process of aerospace technology. It includes analyses of the position of 3D printing in the aerospace industry and the forecast of its future development based on the marketing analysis of strengths / weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Many airlines and AMOs (Approved Maintenance Organizations) rely on externally supplied spare parts delivered over long distances. The whole process is expensive and time consuming and means a lost profit for the company. The performed SWOT analysis can therefore ultimately help the AMO manager to re-evaluate their production process in the light of the current innovative and progressive technology of industrial 3D printing.The aim of this work is to point out the existence of innovative 3D printing technology in aerospace production and to emphasize its preferences compared to conventional manufacturing techniques and procedures, thus providing a final perspective on the future of the 3D printing industry and its long-term sustainability
