OCTOBER 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialThe aerospace and defense market is a significant source of technological progress and innovation. It is important for national defense, facilitates safe and efficient air travel, improves communication and knowledge diffusion, and helps to expand consumerism and supply chain globalization. As large manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus improve their production output, the demand for fasteners will skyrocket, with a particular focus on titanium fasteners. However, establishing the appropriate level of operational excellence to enable output growth while preserving quality and controlling costs can be a significant issue.Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a particularly important choice as significant aerospace manufacturers transition to new digital production processes. The aerospace and defense industry is in a unique position to reap the benefits of AM's efficiency in support of difficult-to-manufacture and difficult-to-source parts. Metal part design is becoming more flexible because of AM. Adoption of CNC machining can increase surface finish quality and higher tolerance in heavy applications. AM is a good time saver for complex geometrical components that are costly and time-consuming to produce. Complex interior structures in single-piece components, which are commonly used for aerospace manufacturing, would otherwise have to be constructed in numerous sections and combined by welding or another post-production procedure, but is now possible using AM procedure.This edition of Aerospace and Defense Review brings you the story of some of the most promising aerospace manufacturing solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
