🚀 #Missile Radome Ring in INVAR36: Now realized through #additivemanufacturing ‼️   The commitment (#engineering, #testing, and #manufacturing) of MBDA & Sòphia High Tech, in #partnership, has led to the replacement of the traditional casting process for the Radome Ring with the #SLM process. Starting from the development of SLM parameters, including thermal treatment for INVAR36, all required testing and #qualification activities were carried out. Chip removal parameters were also qualified (different from those for #INVAR machined by casting), leading to the qualification of new tools for processing the 3D printed part using #CNC #machining. With this #manufacturing process (ALM + CNC), MBDA benefits in the following areas: 🔘 Reduction of Waste 🔘 Reduction of Manufacturing Lead Time 🔘Reduction of Costs 🔘Reduction of Environmental Impact   Next step: Developing an optimized near-net-shape 3D printed raw material to further improve these benefits.
