Stratasys to Demonstrate Supply Chain and Engineering Efficiencies of Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace at Paris Air ShowMINNEAPOLIS and REHOVOT, Israel, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stratasys Booth Hall 3, Stand E30, June 15-21, 2015 This year's Paris Air Show (15th to 21st June, Le Bourget Exhibition Centre, France) will see leading additive manufacturing and 3D printing provider, Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), demonstrate how its technology helps aerospace companies increase supply chain efficiency, produce lighter weight flight parts and improve buy-to-fly ratios. Recent Stratasys customer announcements highlight the growing impact of the company's market-leading solutions for aerospace design, testing, tooling and part production: United Launch Alliance (ULA) saves $1m a year by 3D printing durable flight-ready rocket components from ULTEM 9085, a high performance thermoplastic (International Business Times, April 17, 2015), while Airbus' use of over 1000 FDM 3D printed flight parts for its A350 XWB program (Stratasys blog, May 6, 2015) enabled the company to increase supply chain flexibility and meet delivery commitments on-time. Stratasys (Hall 3, Stand E30) will use the Paris Air Show to demonstrate how its 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies respond directly to the specific requirements of these and other aerospace manufacturers and suppliers. This includes the ability to produce lighter parts with enhanced functionality using high-performance FST-certified and FAA-approved thermoplastic materials, as well as the fast, economic creation of full design prototypes, ergonomic jigs & fixtures and injection molds. Visitors are invited to explore the latest 3D printing advancements and solutions for aerospace in a two-day series of informative Stratasys speaking sessions:
"Aerospace companies are leveraging additive manufacturing solutions to enhance buy-to-fly ratios and simplify the manufacture and assembly of complex part geometries. This simplifies customers' structured bills of material on aircraft and leads to increased supply chain efficiencies and reduced overhead costs associated with maintaining and executing contracts for each part. Our additive manufacturing solutions produce complex parts on-demand, ensuring on-time delivery at the point of use. We encourage interested aerospace customers to visit the Stratasys booth during the show to speak with a Vertical Solutions technical expert," said Andy Storm, General Manager of Aerospace, Automotive, & Defense Vertical Solutions.
