Atrenne has released an article discussing the advantages of 3D printed chassis, which include reduced development time, faster “Fit Tests”, and increased program success.
In the interests of providing innovatively designed and customized solutions for defense electronics, Atrenne was first to market with an aluminum alloy 3D printed chassis as recognized by the Military and Aerospace Electronics 2021 Technology and Innovators Awards.
Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) (metal 3D printing) gives mechanical engineers the freedom to create complex parts without the design constraints of traditional manufacturing methods. Initially seen as only a prototyping technology, 3D printing has matured rapidly and is currently being used, with great success, for production components in both aerospace and defense.
Antenne’s 3D printing capability enables the company to work with prime contractors to develop and deliver customized, innovative, and cost-effective chassis on time and on budget.
