Aerospace Parts & Prototypes

From UAV brackets to cabin mockups, additive manufacturing unlocks complex internal channels and lightweight lattices. Start with polymer instant quotes; metal DMLS is on our roadmap.

Why teams print here

Aerospace programs push for lighter structures, faster design cycles, and geometries that are expensive or impossible to machine. Polymer 3D printing is the fastest way to validate duct routing, bracket interfaces, and interior fit before committing to flight hardware or tooling.

Carbon fiber–filled nylons offer excellent stiffness-to-weight for UAV frames and structural brackets. SLS PA12 builds isotropic nylon parts without support scars — useful for duct segments and clips. SLA delivers presentation-quality cabin mockups and wind-tunnel models with fine surface detail.

Common use cases

• UAV and drone structural brackets
• Air duct and manifold prototypes
• Interior cabin fit checks
• Tooling and assembly aids
• Wind-tunnel model components

Choosing materials

Use carbon fiber nylon or standard nylon for structural UAV and bracket prototypes. SLS PA12 when you need uniform strength in all directions. SLA for visual models and aerodynamic studies where surface quality matters most.
