| Abstract Scope |
The aerospace industry as a whole is facing a number of manufacturing challenges as it looks to the future. Some of these challenges relate to the increased production rates that ought to be achieved to meet demand. Others, relate to new requirements imposed on emerging air vehicles (i.e., different to those defined for current platforms) that require new approaches to manufacturing. In this work, we will examine how leveraging Digital & Robotic Forming can help in achieving some of these manufacturing challenges. This includes assuring composite manufacturing rates can be achieved through agile fabrication of metal tooling for composites. By the same token combination with other emerging manufacturing technologies such as impact welding and localized heat treatment can enable manufacturing of novel, metallic aerostructures that were previously not possible. |
