This includes carbon-fiber-filled FDM Nylon 12CF material, which is used to create robust yet lightweight repair and development tools for the production line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with its existing F900 line-up, the latest installation will operate around the clock as an integral part of BAE\u2019s transformative \u201cFactory of the Future\u201d initiative, a cutting-edge facility in Lancashire that brings together the latest advances in technology and manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>According to BAE Systems, when using its F900 3D printers to manufacture production tools, the result is significant reductions in cost and lead times against those of traditional manufacturing methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStratasys FDM (fused deposition modeling) additive manufacturing helps us meet our overall company objectives to reduce costs and time-to-market,\u201d says Greg Flanagan, Additive Manufacturing Operations Lead, BAE Systems Air. \u201cWe can rapidly 3D print one-off parts for new products, replace tools more easily and cost-effectively, and maintain production operations when hardware is delayed. If supply chains become disrupted, having this production power in-house also enables us to be more agile as a business and continue to best serve the needs of our customers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BAE Systems also has found great success in identifying traditionally manufactured applications that can be enhanced, or in some cases replaced, with high-performance 3D printing materials. This includes utilizing durable ABS and ASA materials for a range of aircraft ground equipment, such as cockpit floor covers for the Typhoon fighter aircraft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>www.stratasys.com&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stratasys, Eden Prairie, Minn., announces that BAE Systems has added a fourth Stratasys F900 3D printer to its manufacturing site in Samlesbury, England, in a continued effort to reduce costs and improve production agility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[444,446,440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace-and-defense","category-automobiles-and-ground-transportation","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
