Description
Description | The DECSAM project is aimed at growing the use of additive manufacturing technology in aircraft production, focusing on making metal laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing more cost-effective, productive, and sustainable. The project includes use cases such as engine structures, ultra-efficient wings, and hydrogen propulsion subsystems. GKN Aerospace is participating with a focus on engine parts, sustainable supply of material, simulations, productivity studies, production monitoring, and in-situ inspection at the post-processing stage. The project is led by Airbus and funded by the UK Aerospace Technology Institute with a budget of £38 million ($50 million). |
