Defence Upgraded: The Power of Cold Spray Technology

In the last article we looked at the coming demand for new commercial aircraft and the supply chain challenges in producing new cutting-edge carbon fibre aeroplanes related to tooling and equipment for their production. One of the specific challenges is the production and performance of the necessary tools which are needed for fabricating carbon fibre composites

Titanium tooling: technical benefits enabled by new manufacturing technologies

Global commercial aerospace demand forecast & the supply chain demands for composite manufacturing tooling

COVID’s disruption of the global air travel market was deeper and longer than previous crises. But once borders reopened and public confidence returned, the market recovered quickly. People are hungry to travel and reconnect; business and leisure travel has exploded. Markets serviced by narrow-body (single-aisle, small-medium range) aircraft led the wider recovery, but now most airlines have their larger aircraft in service, reclaiming them from desert parking lots around the world [1].

What is cold spray?

Cold spray has come a long way in recent years. Developed by Soviet scientists in the 1980s, it’s since been developed into an advanced technique for building, coating and repairing parts. So, what exactly is cold spray additive manufacturing – and how is it changing the future of manufacturing? Start with this deep dive.
