AFRL partners with America Makes to refine Air Force aircraft part replacement

A StrataSys 400mc professional 3D printer prints a soda bottle demonstration piece at AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate. The device uses a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology, also called Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). A thermoplastic filament is pushed and melted through an extruder, to be deposited layer after layer to create a 3D printed part. The device is a similar class of equipment that some on the project team will use. (U.S. Air Force photo/Dennis Butcher)
