    Airbus Helicopters Opens 3D Printing Center for Aluminum Components

    Airbus Helicopters opened a new 3D printing centre at its site in Donauwörth, Germany. The company now operates three machines for components made of titanium, four for plastic parts, and — as a new element — a machine that can produce components made of aluminum. The additive manufacturing process allows for serial products of components, […]
