That&#8217;s why series production for the aerospace industry &#8211; a different business &#8211; will be done closer to actual production at the new Additive Industries Process &amp; Application Development Center on the <a href=\"http:\/\/aerospacebristol.org\/\">aerospace campus in Filton<\/a>, near Bristol.<\/p>\n<p>APWORKS CEO Joachim Zettler believes metal additive manufacturing (3d printing with metal) will continue to evolve into a mature fabrication technology and will be able to compete with conventional processes like casting, machining and powder metallurgy. &#8220;In the next years we expect this market to continuously grow and especially in the aerospace industry, new airplanes and aero-engines will contain a substantial number of parts that are additively manufactured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"APWORKS and Additive Industries advance to series production of certified parts\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1-XNNEr-tJg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After three years of prototyping with Additive Industries&#8216; MetalFAB1 in Taufkirchen (near Munich), Airbus&#8217; daughter company APWORKS has decided to scale up to series production for its aerospace industry.
