Jigs and Fixtures: More Profitable Production
Deliver real value to manufacturers with 3D printing. Tooling has always been one of the most expensive and time-consuming processes in the production cycle, not anymore.
The cost for purchasing replacements was too expensive for such a small error, so engineers used 3D printing.
China Eastern Airlines (CEA) operates a modernized fleet of over 600 aircrafts, reaching 1,062 destinations in 177 countries. To ensure the flight safety, Eastern Airlines Technic Co., Ltd. shoulders the important tasks of CEA’s aircraft maintenance and part repair.
Aviation requires extremely high safety standards, so what inspired CEA to begin using additive manufacturing (AM)? In 2015, CEA’s first brand-new Boeing 777 passenger aircraft had misprinted seat signs. The cost for purchasing replacements was too expensive for such a small error, so engineers used 3D printing. The new signs were ready in three days at a much lower cost, so CEA quickly set up a dedicated AM lab.
