Posted on July 31, 2017 Robert Jones Aviation News

In recent news, Stratasys one of the industries prolific 3D printing companies have partnered with Boom Supersonic for the development of 3D parts for their supersonic aircraft. Together they have planned to produce a more efficient part made from 3D fabrication. Their partnership also means the integration of both companies within each other. Sources state that the integration will include Stratasys FDM 3D printing technology to be placed into Boom Supersonics headquarters located in Denver, Colorado. The printers that are to be placed into the Supersonics’ facilities are the Fortus 450mc and F370 3D model printers. Included with the partnership will be included not only the fabrication but the maintance services.

“Stratasys printers are designed to produce components leveraging production-grade thermoplastics, as well as advanced manufacturing tools capable of performing under most challenging environments.”

One of the huge impacts that made Boom Supersonic decide to keep creating this 3D prototype was to create a more cost-efficient flight alongside the many enhanced features such as increasing of speed and performance. Currently both companies are working on their XB-1 demonstrator mode which is on track to be launched as of next year 2018.

These innovations are said to increase the accelerating speed up to 1451 mph. The aircraft is to fly up to 2.6 times faster than any already existing aircraft on the market.

Per a statement of Boom Supersonics CEO Blake Scholl states, that the newer design, innovative manufacturing , and its carbon fibre material composition is going to change the way aircrafts will be made in the future. “With a proven track-record of success across aviation and aerospace, Stratasys now becomes a key catalyst in our design and production processes, helping to transform the future of aviation through the power of 3D printing.”
