Top 1: The use of additive manufacturing by NAVAIR

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) provides material support to U.S. Navy aircraft and airborne weapons. It uses additive manufacturing to create all kinds of parts, from tools to finished parts or rapid prototyping. NAVAIR has opted for different technologies, from melt deposition to metal 3D printing, in order to meet the requirements of the aeronautics sector and provide more efficient and less costly solutions:

Top 2: Cobra Aero and Renishaw

Cobra Aero is an American company that designs engines for motorcycles, small cars and drones. It has recently invested in metal 3D printers, including Renishaw’s solutions to enable faster product launches. Additive manufacturing allows teams to test their ideas and develop concepts much faster, all in-house. Their R&D phase is therefore shorter and the market launch is advanced:
