Connecting Additive Manufacturing to the Aerospace and Defense Community
AdvancedTek is proud to be part of the inaugural Twin Cities AeroDefense Summit, hosted in partnership with the Twin Cities Aerospace Network (TCAN). This first-of-its-kind regional event brings together industry, academia, and government to explore the trends shaping aerospace and defense manufacturing, and AdvancedTek will be on-site to talk through where additive manufacturing fits into that picture.
What You Will Find at Our Booth
Stop by the AdvancedTek booth to see the range of additive manufacturing technology available to aerospace and defense manufacturers today. Our team will be on hand to talk through:
- How our lineup of Stratasys, Formlabs, and EOS technologies covers prototyping, tooling, and production applications
- What FDM, PolyJet, SAF, SLA, and metal 3D printing each bring to an aerospace or defense manufacturing strategy
- Materials built for the demands of aerospace and defense parts, from high-performance thermoplastics to metal
- How post-processing solutions round out a complete, production-ready workflow
Whether you are exploring additive manufacturing for the first time or looking to expand an existing program, our team can help you think through what fits your application.
Why Aerospace and Defense Manufacturers Are Investing in Additive Manufacturing
Aerospace and defense programs face long lead times, tight tolerances, and increasing pressure to bring parts and tooling in-house. Additive manufacturing gives engineering and manufacturing teams a way to produce complex geometries, low-volume production parts, jigs, fixtures, and tooling on a timeline that traditional methods often cannot match.
AdvancedTek works with manufacturers across the Midwest to identify the right combination of printer, material, and workflow for their specific application, backed by our 30-year relationship with Stratasys and additional support from Formlabs and EOS.
