Accelerating the serial production of additive manufactured components
Oerlikon AM and RUAG Space - the Space Division of Swiss technology group, RUAG - have joined forces to accelerate the serial production of 3D printed components.
Oerlikon AM and RUAG Space are already working together on the qualification of a bracket that would be installed on a payload fairing.
A new optimized design made possible through additive manufacturing will reportedly reduce costs by 25% and decrease weight by more than 50% while doubling the stiffness of the bracket.
