Powered by Stratasys additive manufacturing (AM) technology, Airbus is now producing more than 25,000 flight-ready 3D-printed parts annually, transforming how aircraft are built and maintained across its global fleet. Evolving from its first part, a spare crew seat component, Airbus has embraced AM, taking it to new heights with more than 200,000 certified Stratasys polymer parts now in active service.

Recent data shows that the implementation of Stratasys’ 3D printed parts utilised in the Airbus A350 resulted in a 43% weight reduction, the elimination of the minimum order quantity requirement, and an 85% reduction in lead time. Airbus has parts printed for the A320, A350 and A400M models using Stratasys ULTEM 9085 material on multiple Stratasys industrial-grade FDM printers.
