Sogeclair Believes 3D Printed Casting Patterns are the Key to the Airplane Door of the Future
Flying can be a sublime experience, especially when the plane’s design has been carefully considered and executed. Despite our human instinct to believe that supremely heavy objects such as planes or ships should neither fly nor float, their engineering allows them to do so and to the end user, it can seem nearly effortless. The […]

Luggage Manufacturer RIMOWA Uses 3D Scanning to Recreate the First-Ever Metal Passenger Aircraft
For many people, air travel has become routine. How many times have you boarded an airplane without a second thought while traveling for business or pleasure, perhaps still irritated by crowds or the long lines for the screening process in the airport? It seems as though air travel has been around forever – but it […]

Pratt & Whitney Deliver Additively Manufactured Entry-Into-Service Jet Engine Parts
Pratt & Whitney has been working to develop 3D manufacturing techniques for 25 years, and up until recently that meant plastic parts used as prototypes or tooling and support for metal parts. But that process has undergone a radical change as Pratt & Whitney prepares to deliver the first PurePower PW1500G engines to Bombardier. This […]
