Boeing is in the 鈥渞ocket science鈥� business, hence as the common idiom goes, it is no secret its manufacturing process is quite complex…
With millions of parts that go into the making of each plane and space launch systems – Boeing is peering into new technologies to look for faster, cheaper and safer ways to produce its planes. Metal Additive Manufacturing (i.e. 3D Printing) is at the forefront.
Machine learning is perceived to be the holy grail of business rejuvenation and its adoption a direct route to capturing future markets. Will the aerospace industry and Boeing prove that these expectations may not always be straight out of “la la land”?
Boeing has leveraged additive manufacturing to improve upon its existing production processes. To what extent can Boeing continue to capitalize off of these capabilities and what obstacles stand in its way?
The aerospace and defense industry accepts additive manufacturing as a viable way to produce innovative prototypes 鈥� but can 3D printing really produce complete, complex jets that can withstand speeds of 150 miles per hour?
I spent 6 years in the Propulsion Product Development (PD) team at Boeing. During this time, additive manufacturing (AM) has gained recognition as a technological solution that could significantly improve product development cycles, design and manufacturing at Boeing. 聽While Boeing […]
As Boeing invests more heavily in additive manufacturing for its satellite business, will customers accept uncertainty around the long-term reliability of 3D-printed components?
Boeing has turned to additive manufacturing to avoid supply chain bottlenecks and save costs in an increasingly fast-paced industry.
Boeing has committed to investing in and expanding its use of additive manufacturing, helping to improve upon the company's complex production of select commercial jet parts. But the company will need to continue to push the limits of 3D-printing if there is a broader future for this technology to more meaningfully control manufacturing costs and efficiency for their Dreamliner and future jet models.
The USA, keen to enact an 鈥渁ggressive defence of US trade remedies laws鈥�, attacks Canadian aerospace firm Bombardier 鈥� landing a direct blow to both of its closest allies.
Boeing is trapped between a groundswell of 鈥淎merica-first鈥� manufacturing sentiment at home, and a fiercely competitive environment in China鈥攊ts largest growth market for commercial jets. How the aerospace juggernaut handles this politically charged opportunity will determine the company鈥檚 growth prospects […]
