What is ALM?
AIRTeC Services
Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) or 3D printing, is the process of making three dimensional solid objects where the material is joined or solidified under computer control.
Airbus Filton is at the forefront of AM technology for Metallic Powder Bed Fusion. Producing rapid prototype parts and custom solutions to support assembly activities and parts for flight test aircraft.
In 2018, the first Filton printed qualified flying component was delivered as part of the UK supply chain future strategy.
