While additive manufacturing has been proven a reliable cost-saving technology to produce various aircraft parts, companies are now focusing their efforts towards serial additive manufacturing production. Key questions now arise around quality assurance and parts certification across the whole supply chain.

Ahead of Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space 2020, Defence iQ compiled this report on the progress and key milestones needed to achieve serial additive manufacturing production, from three key players in the market: Thales, Trumpf and the European Space Agency. They discuss key priorities, challenges and what needs to be done in order to achieve large-scale additive production in the aerospace and space industries.
