Additive manufacturing or3D printingThe application foundation of the company is built on its ability to manufacture components on demand and in accordance with complex specifications. Additive manufacturing technology provides flexibility in response to real-time output demand in terms of design and retractable dimensions, and can promote the transformation of the MRO industry on a large scale.
Chin-Huat Sia, Chief Engineer, Pratt & Whitney Singapore Aerospace Components Center said: “3D printingIt will change the rules of the game in the global MRO industry, especially in terms of serving more commercial engines. This technology will bring greater flexibility to our inventory management.After this pioneering plan, Pratt & Whitney and Singapore Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. will both explore how to apply additive manufacturing technology to other aerospace components and engine models, and at the same time further research and develop to support hybrid maintenance, thereby releasing3D printingThe full potential of technology in the field of commercial aftermarket operations. “
By applying its professional technical skills, Pratt & Whitney’s engineering team applied Singapore Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. to its land transportation system3D printingThe technological approach extends to the manufacturing of aircraft components for Pratt & Whitney engines. The two parties work closely to ensure that the quality and process systems in the project meet Pratt & Whitney’s certification requirements for aftermarket applications.In view of the novelty of this idea, support for approval for use in maintenance3D printingThe technical data of the metal details was completed after several rounds of rigorous review and discussion.The tripartite project personnel then explored existing aviation regulations and requirements and Singapore Technology Engineering Co., Ltd.3D printingIn the process of equipment limit, a comprehensive data review was completed by cooperation to form a data group.
Tan Chor Kiat, Senior Vice President of Dynamics Design and Manufacturing of Singapore Technology Engineering Co., Ltd., said: “It is used for an in-service gas turbine engine.3D printingIt is the first time for us to manufacture an aviation component with technology.This also shows that we have advanced capabilities to provide comprehensive key manufacturing solutions, which not only include production-level3D printing, It also involves post-processes such as heat treatment and machining. Our customers expect us to deliver high quality standards. For this project, the aviation components we delivered can not only meet the required high quality standards, but also meet the stringent requirements of aviation regulatory authorities. “
Singapore Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. has more than 10 years of experience in providing comprehensive key manufacturing and engineering services. It can provide original equipment manufacturers and companies from the aerospace, oil and gas and precision engineering industries from core processes to obtaining Nadcap approval A series of services including special craft processing.
Pratt & Whitney Singapore Aerospace Components Center specializes in providing engine component repairs, covering combustion chambers, fuel system components, pipes, ducts and manifolds of V2500 and PW4000 engines.
