]]> There are few cases where technology and industry are better matched than 3D printing and aerospace. This toolbox explains why this is so, outlining the benefits of 3D printing and how they apply to the aerospace industry with specific examples. It also covers the regulatory challenges and certification efforts for 3D printed aerospace components, popular additive materials for aerospace applications. In addition, it includes three particular kinds of aerospace applications where 3D printing is proving invaluable, if not essential: component repair, drone design and the production of components for and in Outer Space.
