Metal 3D printer for aircraft components Velo3D and Honeywell Aerospace
Velo3D and Honeywell Aerospace are partnering to qualify Velo3D’s Sapphire system for 3D printing aircraft components. The system can build highly complex geometries without support structures, improving quality and saving time and costs.
Qualification with Inconel is underway for the Velo3D Saphire system in Honeywell Aerospace’s Phoenix facility. Velo3D will provide expertise in developing parameter sets for optimal material properties.
