Airframe Designs aligns with US programme for additive manufacturing growth

NCAMP sets its own benchmarks to qualify material systems and has created a shared materials database that can be viewed publicly. It is administered by Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR).

As part of its commitment to the development of aerospace level additive manufacturing, the company has also recently invested in a new Mark Forged X7 printer that is capable of 3D-printing high strength polymer parts that include continuous carbon-fibre reinforcements.

Airframe Designs continues to grow its specialisms in producing highly complex components to some of the largest aviation, defence and space organisations worldwide.

Recent projects undertaken by the company include the delivery of 3D printed composite mould tools for the medical sector, 3D printed tool fixture clamps for the aerospace sector and 3D printed enclosure panels for a helicopter project.
