1 – Emirates 3D Printing in Planes
Emirates are an extremely well-known airline that specialise in flights in the Middle East but fly worldwide. In this video, Emirates articulate how they intend to use 3D printing to make more and more parts of their planes. This has started with small parts like air grills using SLS. They intend to expand this to 3D print every part of the plane’s cabin.
2 – Sculpteo Fabpilot
Fabpilot is is Sculpteo’s new cloud-based 3D printing software. It was created for use in production centres/laboratories and helps with uploading and repairing files, analysing and optimising projects, and more. Fabpilot works with all 3D manufacturing technologies, and allows for collaboration between multiple users, so others can make edits.
