Stratasys and MakerBot offer a range of 3D printers that enable engineers to develop, prototype and manufacture aerospace parts. Stratasys recently announced that Airbus has produced more than 1000 flight parts on their Stratasys FDM 3D Production Systems for use on A350 XWB aircraft. MakerBot Desktop 3D Printers are used in the aerospace industry too. Engineers at Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center, in Palo Alto, CA, for example, used 3D-printed models to develop parts for NIRCam, an essential optical instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to launch in 2018.
