One of everybody's favorite parts from this past year has been this ramjet engine designed by our Applications Development Engineer Jay Blake. Ramjets are air-breathing jet engines designed to achieve supersonic speeds. This design was inspired by the J-58 turbojet used on the SR-71 Blackbird, which still holds the record for the fastest supersonic, air-breathing manned aircraft. That record was set in 1976 and has yet to be broken. There is growing interest in #ramjet engines (as well as their hypersonic cousin, the #scramjet) from the #aerospace and #defense industries. Additive manufacturing is a key technology for developing these applications as you can print precise geometries that consolidate dozens-to-hundreds of parts into a single component.

A sentiment I've been hearing a lot lately is the notion that we need to be pushing more money to scale the primes, rather than really considering our small business base to be a viable solution to real national security problems. But, Why? Where does this notion come from? We have NEVER won a major conflict with a consolidated industrial base. In the 1950's there were over 50 major defense prime contractors, and countless support partners. Anyone with the right tech was fair game. The competition and innovation is what gave us our edge, and the culture of the economic industrial base and it's connection to defense is what drove that willingness to repurpose factories for the good of national defense. During COVID, we came together. We had those offers from small and big businesses alike. In many cases, we chose not to take them in favor of waiting months for foreign aid and supplies (my husband can attest to many angry meetings and defeated tears). I have a hypotheses on a couple of contributing factors - but I invite the thoughts and enlightenment of the collective mind: 1. It's Comfortable: Those of us in government have only every lived in the consolidated world. We've grown and succeeded there. It's what we know. 2. The Infrastructure isn't there: Our processes and organizational infrastructure are built around a "build from within" paradigm that assumes defense spending will get there first. The innovation ecosystem is meant to be a fix, but such fixes were only designed to capture the 10 to 20% outliers. IF we're saying MOST of the innovation is coming from without in key technology areas, then they won't and can't be enough, and something bigger has to change. The innovation and tenacity of the U.S. economy is a key factor in what makes our nation great. Firehawk Aerospace is one of the rising stars in the defense industry. They're talented, fast paced, forward leaning, humble enough to listen, and persistent enough to deliver. They say we're preparing for for a great power competition? This. is. how. we. win.

A recent trend in aerospace machining is that parts are becoming so complex that traditional equipment and approaches are no longer sufficient. See how we're leveraging multi-axis machining with zero-point fixturing to take on the most complex aerospace machining orders: https://bit.ly/4aW9oNn #aerospace #machining

Additive manufacturing is driving aerospace industry with high-precision, lightweight structures, and rapid iteration cycles. By reducing material waste and enabling complex, optimized designs, AM enhances component performance and efficiency. The future of aerospace engineering is being shaped by advanced 3D printing technologies! ✈️🚀

Looking for a machine that’s capable to cut a variety of metallic and nonmetallic parts. Here is a customer making aerospace structural components from Titanium on his new DL321. Versatility is key to stay ahead of the curve. What can a DL321 do for you is the question you should ask yourself! #5axisprecision #aerospace #manufacturing #5axis

✈️🌟Aerospace industry has predominantly followed the conventional #manufacturing process to produce parts. By leveraging on the #additivemanufacturing process, the “buy to fly” ratio can be reduced substantially there by saving costs, minimizing wastes, and enabling faster production.🚀 The #technology also allows the most complex designs required in aero #engineering to be produced with sufficient ease. Considering the benefits provided by the technology, Aero OEMs have been adopting this more and more as their most preferred method of manufacturing.🛠️ Metal Additive manufacturing is the present and future of aviation, Space and defence part production.⚙️ Contact us to know more in detail how #additive manufacturing can add value to the aerospace industry.
