Bartlett Maritime & AES 3D Printing Submarine Components
AES LFAM 3D printers in motion
Ohio-based Bartlett Maritime Company (BMC) works to construct functionality and capability for America’s submarine industrial base, and it’s partnering with fellow Ohio firm Additive Engineering Options (AES) to develop 3D printed manufacturing and delivery device elements, together with meeting jigs and fixtures and customized delivery containers. Based in 2016 in Akron, AES is the biggest firm globally devoted to offering large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) options, and likewise has the biggest capability of LFAM 3D printers. By utilizing LFAM 3D print these jigs and fixtures, manufacturing time and price might be considerably lowered. As for the containers, most submarine parts are shipped in single-use, individually made picket crates. However BMC and AES plan to create customized, reusable 3D printed packaging for tools and element shipments, which is able to eradicate waste, scale back delivery harm, and reduce cash, materials, and labor waste concerned in present picket crating practices.
“AES is a formidable, entrepreneurial small enterprise proper right here in Ohio that was first on the planet to commercialize giant format polymer additive manufacturing (LFAM) 3D printing of strengthened thermoplastic elements. Coming into into this strategic provider settlement with AES will assist us ship the options the nation wants to deal with the disaster in submarine upkeep,” mentioned Edward L. Bartlett, Jr., Bartlett Maritime Company’s Founder and CEO.
“AES has a confirmed observe file of success working with companions within the protection industrial base. The AES staff shares our ardour for revolutionary approaches as we work to provide the women and men of America’s armed forces the gear they should meet their mission.”
