Ahead of this year’s Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space conference, Defence iQ gained exclusive insight from Phil Hatherley, General Manager, Materials Solutions - A Siemens Business, the lead partner of the conference.

In this interview, Mr Hatherley answers the following questions:

• Now that additive manufacturing has been proven a reliable, cost-saving & innovative technology, where would you like to see the industry moving forward to in the coming years?
• This year’s Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space conference will feature a visit to Materials Solutions 3D Printing Facility.What can attendees expect to see and learn there?
• How can Materials Solutions/Siemens help the industry move forward?
• As the lead sponsor for the conference, what key takeaways do you want attendees to get from the visit to the Materials Solutions 3D Printing Facility?
  

This exclusive interview with Vinu Vijayan, Global Business Development Manager – Aerospace, EOS and speaker at Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space, explores the challenges of supporting Airbus in achieving mass 3D production of latch shafts for A350 and managing the parts’ certification across the supply chain. 

In this exclusive interview, Mohsen Seifi, Director, Global AM Programmes, ASTM International and key speaker at this year’s Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space conference, discusses how ASTM International is helping the aerospace and space industry to overcome a key challenge: the certification of AM parts across the global, interconnected supply chain.

Benefits of reading the interview:

• Understand how organizations such as ASTM International can help you overcome your certification and standardization challenges
• Ensure that your own manufacturing process remains competitive and able to deliver repeatable and high quality components by achieving standardization of AM parts

In this interview, Mr Seifi answers the following questions:

• What is ASTM International and could you give us some insight into your role as Director of Global AM Programmes?
• Could you give us some background as to how ASTM International supports the aerospace/space industry?
• Why is it important that the certification of parts is standardized across the aerospace/space supply chain?
• What role does ASTM International play in defining quality standards for AM parts? Why is it important to have those set across companies globally?
• How can safety testing maximise the commercial viability of AM parts in the aerospace/space industry?
• What benefits are there for integrating quality screening early for AM parts certification? At what stage of the production process should this begin?

Read an exclusive preview of the interview below:

Having various parts in the supply chain certified by different certification bodies leads to uncertainty about whether the parts have been certified to the same quality level. If one trusted and recognized source can provide certification across all parts, product development is

Mr Seifi will speak at this year’s Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space on standardizing the evaluation process of additive manufacturing applications within aerospace. You can download the full agenda conference here. 

Is large-scale integration of Additive Manufacturing ever possible in the Aerospace & Space sector? It could hold the key for companies to manufacture on an industrial level at a cheaper cost and with more flexibility but it has yet to become the primary technology for manufacturing purposes. 

Ahead of the annual Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace & Space conference, Defence IQ sat down with Kelly Moran, Metallic Materials and Processes Leader at Boeing Research & Technology Europe and Chairperson at the conference, to understand what practical and cultural challenges are currently hindering this technology from becoming the norm and the practicality of making large-scale integration of additive manufacturing a reality.

Additive Manufacturing could be the key factor in conducting affordable and sustainable missions, reducing costs and improving the crew's safety by manufacturing much-needed broken parts without necessitating a resupply mission. How far are we from conducting deep-space exploration missions?

Defence IQ had the opportunity to discuss with Raymond 'Corky' Clinton, Associate Director of the Science & Technology Office in the Marshall Space Flight Centre, NASA and speaker at the 4th annual Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space conference, on the current application of additive manufacturing at NASA and what future plans NASA has to make deep-space exploration a safe and cost-effective reality.

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.

• Hear more on key challenges that need to be overcome in order to achieve serial additive production, from key market players that will attend Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space

In this report, gain insight from:

• Steven Catt, AM Technical Lead, Thales UK - who will return in 2020
• Volkan Duegmeci, Application Engineer for Aerospace Engineering, Trumpf - who will partner once more in 2020
• Advenit Makaya, Advanced Manufacturing, Engineer, European Space Agency – a representative is confirmed to speak in 2020

To view the full speaker panel and session details of Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace and Space 2020, you can download the agenda here. Key themes of the conference space, air and sea applications for additive manufacturing processes; certification and standardization strategies delivering critical assurance for aerospace and space applications; innovation and new technologies in additive manufacturing for aerospace and space; commercialization of research and development of short-term additive manufacturing strategies; assessment of through-life costs; engineer training to utilise additive manufacturing’s full potential.
