Global commercial aircraft wheels market: Greater application of 3D manufacturing techniques

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of developing a 3D object by adding successive layers of materials with the support of computerized control technology. This process allows manufacturers to easily produce smaller and complex components. The implementation of 3D printing in the aerospace industry can allow reductions in manufacturing time, wastage of materials, and overall associated costs. Therefore, 3D printing is expected to offer long-term sustainability along with enhancing the overall performance of an aircraft component.

“The materials used in aircraft depend mainly on their physical properties. For example, given its strength, steel is widely used for landing gears. However, turning steel into parts becomes time-consuming as well as labor-intensive. Hence, alternative solutions like additive manufacturing are being adopted by aircraft OEMs. 3D-printed parts are cost-effective and require less time for production,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on tires & rubber.
