Precision 3D Aerospace Components Manufacturing
When aerospace engineers need functional prototypes that meet exacting tolerances or custom tooling that can’t wait for traditional manufacturing timelines, they turn to ACMT—a trusted 3D aerospace components manufacturer with decades of experience solving complex challenges. Our state-of-the-art Fortus 450 3D printer doesn’t just create parts; it creates solutions that keep your projects moving forward with the reliability and precision you demand.
Here’s what excites us about aerospace 3d printing: we’re not just making components—we’re enabling innovation. Whether you’re developing next-generation aircraft systems or need rapid prototyping for critical testing, our additive manufacturing capabilities bridge the gap between concept and reality with engineering-grade materials that perform under pressure.
Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace Excellence
Fortus 450 3D Printer Capabilities
Our Fortus 450 system represents the pinnacle of industrial-grade additive manufacturing aerospace parts technology. With a generous build envelope of 16 x 14 x 16 inches (406 x 355 x 406 mm), we can accommodate substantial components while maintaining the precision tolerances aerospace applications demand.
What sets our 3D printing apart:
- TTool and gage making capabilities that reduce lead times from weeks to days
- Functional prototypes with exacting tolerances for critical testing and validation
- Complex geometries that would be impossible or cost-prohibitive with traditional manufacturing
- Rapid iteration capabilities that keep your development projects on schedule
Engineering-Grade Materials for Demanding Applications
The aerospace industry doesn’t compromise on materials, and neither do we. Our 3d printed aircraft parts utilize only the highest-performance thermoplastics engineered for demanding aerospace environments:
ABS-M30 (Ivory and Black): Offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio with good chemical resistance, ideal for functional prototypes and tooling applications.
PC (Polycarbonate): Provides superior impact resistance and temperature stability, perfect for components that need to withstand harsh operating conditions.
Ultem 1010 and 9085: These high-performance materials bring exceptional chemical resistance, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability—crucial for aerospace applications where failure isn’t an option.
