When SAS was struggling with supply bottlenecks, the question arose: could 3D printing help?

After all, the technology offers fast production, design freedom, low costs and less waste - ideal for customized solutions.

But an aircraft is not a small component. So how to think big with 3D printing?

CNE Engineering relied on large-format 3D printed molds to produce much-needed engine covers for SAS.

✅ Fast implementation - production started within a few weeks.

✅ Customized production - Tailor-made parts for specific requirements.

✅ Robust materials - Resistant to extreme temperatures & chemicals.

With the BigRep - Large-Format 3D Printers, SAS was able to react flexibly, efficiently and locally - a game changer for the aviation industry.

How do you use 3D printing to optimize your supply chains?
