Project description
3D printing integrates plastics and fibres for novel aircraft prototypes
Manufacturing changed dramatically with the introduction of 3D printing in the 1980s. Originally developed for rapid prototyping, 3D printing eliminates the need for expensive moulds and machines and subsequent post-processing and polishing. It creates prototypes with very high precision from the bottom up in layers of materials from a computer-aided design file. For that reason, it is also often called additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is gaining ground for applications involving demanding conditions and large sizes such as the manufacture of aircraft components. The EU-funded 3D-SE project is propelling this revolutionary technology to the forefront of manufacturing with a focus on fibre-reinforced plastic components. A digital model will produce a demo part conforming to strict aviation-specific ISO standards.
Objective
SPITZNER ENGINEERS is an expert engineering office with long term knowledge of over 10 years in the field of traditional fibre composite parts for the aviation industry. We experience right now, that the expert engineering for 3D printed parts in the aviation industry has a big lack of knowledge. We want to develop detailed knowledge about the engineering of 3D printed plastic parts with the unique combination of continuous fibre reinforcements for the aviation industry. This knowledge is not widely spread. The design services as well as an actual part production according to ISO9100 (certification standard in the aviation industry) is our main business focus for this innovative technology.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
