Typical 3D printing applications in aerospace

Cabin interiors

Low-criticality parts like seat row indicators, display shrouds, armrest caps, and overhead storage panels are ideal candidates for small-series AM production.

Four 3D-printed spare parts made of flame-retardant polyamide are shown: one is black and three are white. All four parts are commonly seen in aircraft cabin interiors. These parts are manufactured for 328 Support Services.
