The contract manufacturing in aerospace and defense industry is bringing in advanced solutions to defense, commercial, and space customers.
One of the primary drivers of this worldwide expansion of aerospace and defense contract manufacturing is the increasing need for commercial airplanes. Sintavia, LLC, for example, announced its proprietary copper 3D printing process for the GRCop-42 rocket thrust chamber assembly used by NASA and other space travel businesses.
Moving forward, the global aerospace and defense contract manufacturing market is estimated to expand at a substantial CAGR of 17.3 percent during the forecast period.
To spotlight such key developments in the industry, Aerospace and Defense Review illustrates how contract manufacturing service companies are developing effective strategies for winning contracts with critical customers and contributing to stronger growth in the aerospace and defense space. This edition also includes articles on how A&D leaders have successfully implemented smart manufacturing capabilities. In that list, we have David Waller, Principal Investigator for Additive Manufacturing at Ball Aerospace; Bob Yancey, Business Development Director at Hexcel Corporation; and Bruno Cervia, VP of R&D and Deputy CE at Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, who provide their thought-provoking insights on how additive manufacturing is shaking the core of the aerospace and defense industry, the future of agile contract manufacturing, and how digitization is transforming the aerospace sector.
In this edition of Aerospace and Defense Review, we also bring to you the story of some of the most promising contract manufacturing service companies that play an important role in delivering high quality contract manufacturing services. In the list, BEPeterson stands out with its advanced manufacturing techniques and low-cost material procurement to supply consistent and repeatable high quality products to its customers.
Through the following pages, we aim to shine a light on the innovative trends and latest developments in contract manufacturing of aerospace and defense. We would like to know your thoughts.
