Aerospace and defense

3D printing brings agility to defense and aerospace manufacturing, making complex parts once difficult (or impossible) to manufacture, feasible and affordable, while delivering short lead times.

Using high-performance polymers like PEKK, PA6, and PPS, companies can create components with unmatched strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, reducing the weight of drones (whether airborne, land, or sea/submarines) and satellites.

This significantly enhances their overall efficiency by reducing energy consumption, extending operational range, and lowering associated costs, three critical success factors that determine long-term performance and sustainability.

A wide range of applications

Of course, applications in this sector are not limited to unmanned vehicles and satellite systems, but can also include

Individual equipment such as helmets, and ballistic shields

Casings for electronic and optical systems that must operate in extreme environments

Containers, pipes, joints, and structural supports that are resistant to corrosion and chemical agents.

Thanks to high-performance plastic laser sintering technology, it is now possible to mass-produce a large number of parts fast, with high geometric complexities, good surface quality, and isotropic mechanical characteristics.

High performance materials portfolio

For high-end applications, standard PA11 or PA12, charged or natural grades, are not up to the task. This is where Verne AM comes to help.
