Measurements:
93X220X136mm
Material: Ti6Al4V Titanium
Machine: SLMⓇ 280 Twin
Traditional Manufacturing
1. Increased weight of component leading to high fuel
consumption.
2.High buy-to-fly¹ ratio resulting in wastage.
3.Long Multiple parts required for single component
leading to higher labor costs.
4.production time.
Additive Manufacturing
1. Weight of component down by 31%.
2.Buy-to-fly ratio decreased from 17x to 1.5x,
significantly reducing wastage.
3.Production time decreased by over 40%.
