Additive Manufacturing for Missiles
Additive Manufacturing is seen as a key technology enabler for future missile systems
The potential of enhanced thermal management, innovative architectures and increased packaging densities to increase performance make Additive Manufacturing an attractive solution. The challenge is to demonstrate the capability to produce and qualify high performance parts with consistently high quality.
The MBDA-Huneed collaboration focuses on addressing these challenges using laser powder bed fusion of:
-
EOS Titanium Ti6Al4V alloy
-
ap&c Titanium Ti6Al4V alloy (astm f2924)
