Problem
Traditional aerospace component manufacturing relies on subtractive processes and extensive machining, resulting in long lead times, high material waste, and costly post‑processing before parts can be flight‑qualified.
Solution
Public Access offers an advanced additive manufacturing platform that produces near‑net‑shape, flight‑ready aerospace components with minimal post‑processing. The system incorporates patented material enhancement techniques to improve strength, fatigue resistance, and thermal performance of printed parts. Closed‑loop sensing monitors key process parameters in real time, while a digital twin model correlates the observed behavior with the resulting mechanical properties. This integration enables predictable, repeatable production of critical components for aviation, advanced air mobility, and space missions, reducing cycle time and material waste. By delivering components that meet certification standards directly from the printer, the platform streamlines supply chains and accelerates development timelines.
Target Audience
Primary customers are aerospace OEMs, advanced air mobility manufacturers, and space system integrators that require high‑performance, certification‑ready components with reduced lead times.
