3D Printer Solutions for Aerospace & Defense Industry Applications
New additive manufacturing technologies are accelerating innovation while significantly dropping the barriers to entry into the aerospace supplier and defense manufacturing sectors. 3D printing is helping to drive the future of aerospace industries. From rapid prototyping and increased production of lighter-weight parts from a variety of industrial-grade high-strength materials, while reducing costs. Aerospace and defense industries are utilizing additive manufacturing, production grade 3D printing, research and development, tooling, and next-generation flight component hardware.
Aerospace suppliers and defense contractors leverage 3D printing applications for production support tools, jigs, injection moldings, fixtures or prototyping new designs, or complex shaped 3D printed components and replacement parts.
According to a recent Market Research Future report, the defense and aerospace global 3D printing market is expected to reach $5.58 billion by 2026. 3D printing has helped design and component integration become more expedient, affordable, and straightforward. Our high-performance gMax PRO 3D printing machines are used by a number of defense, government, and aerospace organizations to reduce turnaround times, and rapidly produce prototypes or additive components.
Benefits of 3D printing for Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing
- Pioneer new production techniques and advancements in 3D printing to keep costs down.
- Design functional rapid prototypes which sparks faster iteration, decision making, and responses to market changes.
- Experiment and solve design challenges before you commit to costly tooling and production.

HUGE 18"X18" G10FR4 HEATED BUILD PLATE SET
Ultra-durable glass fiber reinforced composite resin heated print surface. Massive 18" x 18" x 24" print volume potential.
The gMax 2 PRO 3D Printer offers an unmatched combination of size and capabilities. The possibilities are endless.
Get Ideas Off the Ground Quickly with Rapid Prototyping
Quickly resolve design challenges before you fully commit to costly production tooling. Leveraging 3D printing for manufacturing you can unlock faster iteration, decision-making, and responses to market changes. Test and approve components before moving to mass production of aircraft, defense systems, spacecraft, or parts.
Using gMax PRO printers enable fixtures and flight-ready-end use parts. Go from idea to production in half of the time of traditional manufacturing methods. Designing functional prototypes with 3D printing gives you the speed and agility you want with the control and cost savings you demand – turning your vision into reality more quickly and efficiently. Work through several design iterations in days (not weeks) and create parts with complex geometries. Large format 3D printers (FDM), can produce components with complex features like lattice structures, without any additional manufacturing cost.

SOLID STATE RELAY
Design Lighter Weight Components and Productions Parts to Reduce Fuel Consumption and Payload
Reducing the weight of an aircraft can drastically lower its emissions, fuel consumption and payload. Our industrial gMax 2 PRO can produce complex geometries not possible with other manufacturing processes. 3D printing is an ideal solution for creating strong, lightweight composite parts, resulting in considerable fuel savings.
3D printable materials for aerospace and defence applications range from a variety of engineering-grade thermoplastic filaments such as ULTEM 9085, ULTEM 1010, PAEK, reinforced Nylon to name a few. Using certified high-performance materials also allows you to be secure that your produced designs are flightworthy and able to handle the rigors of real-world applications. With 3D printing, previously unrepairable components or parts no longer in production can be repaired or produced to extend the life of these systems.
