@Work: Aerospace Applications Prototyping

Stereolithography is used heavily in the aerospace industry for a variety of purposes. Solid Imaging with 3D Systems' stereolithography systems offer versatile, highly accurate, and exquisite quality prototypes and master patterns unmatched by other technologies.

3D Systems' ThermoJet offers aerospace designers fast access to models for design verification and communicating design intent to others. Fast, reliable and easy-to-use, ThermoJet works in the design office to provide ready access to models. No prototyping lab, no cue, no waiting. Just click "Print" and your model begins building. ThermoJet's "next-generation" capabilities will produce most models in a few hours. Designers now have almost immediate feedback, and can spend valuable time with others communicating the merits of a design, rather than straining to communicate design intent to others.

3D Systems' Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) provides highly versatile, part, prototype and master pattern production from your CAD data. New specialty and general purpose resins available for the SLA now offer ever expanding opportunities to evaluate design performance in stressful physical testing of prototypes. Test prototypes for stress analysis, for wind-tunnel testing, and in high heat applications. Create functional prototypes directly from SLA that can be fitted, and in some cases bench tested as a part of an assembly. Functional testing opportunities are a new and exciting forefront of stereolithography technology that deliver more information to your design group quickly, and help you get your product out the door - fast.

Both of these tools have now become the most efficient manner in which a designer can go from creation to reality. Solid Imaging Solutions from 3D Systems provide bridge from 3D CAD design directly to 3D Digital Manufacturing - prying open the doors towards the ultimate goal of mass customization and manufacturing directly from your desktop.
