3-D printed aircraft parts help Arcam to take off
Stockholm
ARCAM AB chief executive officer Magnus Rene says the Swedish maker of 3-D printers may soon have trouble keeping up with orders as aircraft and engine makers start using the technology to make parts.
With General Electric Co, Pratt & Whitney Holdings LLC and Rolls Royce Holdings plc as customers, Arcam is preparing for growth unforeseen when the Molndal, Sweden-based company was focused on the three-dimensional printing of medical implants such as knee joints. "Two or three years ago, the question was whether the aerospace industry would start producing in this way," Mr Rene said. "Now it's just a question of when."
