Problem
Aerospace and defense industries require lightweight, high-strength structural components that can withstand extreme conditions. Traditional manufacturing methods for these components are often time-consuming, expensive, and limited in their ability to create complex geometries with optimized material distribution.
Solution
PrisAM utilizes proprietary Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology to manufacture multifunctional sandwich structures with optimized lattice cores. This additive manufacturing approach enables the creation of lightweight components with high stiffness and strength-to-weight ratios. The company's non-planar printing hardware and customized slicing software facilitate the deposition of continuous trusses, reducing printing times and increasing part strength while minimizing material usage. PrisAM's technology allows for the rapid production of complex curved shapes, offering a cost-effective and structurally reliable alternative to traditional methods.
Target Audience
PrisAM's primary customers are in the aerospace and defense sectors, including manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), radomes for weapon systems, and non-critical components for crewed aircraft, as well as naval and transportation applications.
