Type of Aerospace Parts We Manufacture at Zeal 3D

Jigs and fixtures: By using 3D engineering technology to produce the massive quantities of jigs and fixtures required, the aerospace industry can reduce production costs by 60 to 90 percent. Aerospace businesses can considerably benefit from 3D engineering services by using contract manufacturing technologies to produce specialized tooling equipment like jigs and fixtures on demand.

Interior Components: Aerospace applications, including the interiors and cabins of airplane, can greatly benefit from 3D-engineered plastic and metallic components. Commercial aircraft's cabin interiors must be maintained on a regular basis, which may require replacing parts like wall panels. Traditionally, injection moulding would be used to create new plastic components because of the limited volume, specialized needs, and high complexity required.

Jet Engine Combustors: The traditional methods of producing jet engine combustors are notoriously challenging. High-quality components are created using a 3D engineering technique that utilizes cobalt-chrome alloy powder as the build material to shield the temperature sensor's extremely delicate electronics from soaring airflows and considerable engine icing. Other aircraft components, such as those utilized in ducting systems, are also being manufactured using 3D engineering techniques.

Spare Parts: Aerospace businesses are becoming more and more dependent on quick lead times due to their reliance on spare and replacement parts. The use of additive manufacturing and other 3D engineering services typically enables the speedy production of spare components when they are required. As a result, there is less need for large stockpiles, which lowers inventory costs and guarantees that parts are made locally.

Mounting Brackets: In order to mount complicated life-saving devices to the inside wall of a plane, structural, low-volume metal brackets are frequently manufactured using 3D printing technologies like DMSL/SLM and other 3D engineering services.
