Boeing
engineers are using 3-D printing to aid in rapid prototyping efforts.
3-D
printing is similar to that of a standard inkjet printer. A computer generated
3-D model is sent to the printer, which divides it into extremely thin cross
sections. A powder is layered across each cross section at a rate of one
vertical inch per hour. Teams across Boeing are using 3-D printing in a
plethora of ways, including fit check models, shop aids, tool mock-ups and
visualization models.
