Additive Manufacturing

At Airframe Designs, we focus on additive layer manufacturing of polymer parts, prototypes, trial-fit mockups, and lightweight tooling.

Our advanced manufacturing facility houses an array of FDM printers and ancillary equipment, including a Stratasys Fortus 450mc for the production of ultrapolymer materials such as ULTEM 9085.

We utilise a hand-held laser scanner for inspection (part geometry validation), undertaking airframe surveys and reverse engineering.

Innovating through Partnerships
