The Aviation AM Centre (AAMC), an EASA-approved aviation manufacturing organisation specialising in additive manufacturing (AM) for the aerospace business, has turn out to be the primary unbiased AM elements producer to qualify EOS metallic 3D printing know-how below EASA Half-21/G approval.
Working carefully with the EOS staff in Dusseldorf, a mix manufacturing course of and materials has been certified by the AAMC to allow the manufacturing of licensed elements for airways, MROs, OEMs, and suppliers. EOS’ metallic powder mattress know-how will now be deployed by the AAMC to help plane upkeep, producing structural elements in plane cabins and plane programs throughout a spread of plane sorts.
In accordance with a press launch distributed by EOS, AAMC can additively manufacture plane elements with EASA Type 1, the European Airworthiness Launch Certificates, in a spread of supplies, comparable to aluminium, titanium, stainless-steel and copper.
Vinayak Jagtap, AAMC Manufacturing Supervisor, mentioned: “We rigorously reviewed and documented each step of the metallic AM course of below our EASA Half-21/G approval, to fulfill the very best Aviation high quality requirements of the German Aviation Authority. In consequence, our approval scope has been expanded to incorporate EOS and AMCM metallic LPBF know-how. We sincerely thank the EOS staff right here in Düsseldorf for his or her help and stay up for producing licensed elements on the most recent AMCM M290-2 1k dual-laser machine.”
Bernhard Randerath, AAMC Chairman and Accountable Supervisor, added: “This milestone marks our transition from design and prototyping to licensed metallic plane elements for airways, MROs, OEMs, and suppliers. Our licensing mannequin additionally permits our companions to determine their very own licensed AM manufacturing cell and profit from our experience and Manufacturing Organisation Approval.”
Markus Glasser, EOS Senior Vice President EMEA provided: “The EOS additive manufacturing know-how is the primary metallic AM know-how worldwide to adjust to the stringent aviation manufacturing regulation EASA Half 21/G, each for the polymer and metallic know-how. This functionality could have a big AM development push throughout the Aviation Business.”
