Stretch forming dies are unique to each section of an aircraft’s fuselage. Since many are needed, the sheer volume of dies can pose a storage problem, with stacks of heavy dies taking up valuable space and requiring much labor to move, organize, and mount on the press.
Additive manufacturing (AM) – 3D printing – offers a solution.
Akron, Ohio-based Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) LLC has applied its ability to 3D print large-size composites to create lighter stretch forming dies with modular, interchangeable components for Spirit AeroSystems.
