Stükerjürgen Aersopace Composites GmbH & Co. KG has the capability to produce and manufacture single parts or small series without tooling costs directly from 3 dimensional CAD data by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). FDM parts are well known for the accuracy of the dimensions and also for their stability and durability.

For the aviation industry, Stükerjürgen is using the approved material Ultem (polyetherimide - PEI) that offers outstanding elevated thermal resistance, high strength and stiffness with broad chemical resistance. The materials PC or ABS are also available.

Fused Deposition Modeling can be used for developing prototypes, for reproductions or for special-purpose solutions. FDM parts can be finished like conventionally manufactured parts. After finishing, it is impossible to distinguish between an FDM or a part made with tooling.

Product Development One field of application of FDM is rapid proto- typing. No expensive tools are needed any more. Only a 3D Model, which can be used in STL, is necessary. The prototype suitable for test and funtion will be available in a few days and can be modified easily with inexpensive 3D Model changes.      Special-Purpose Solutions Stükerjürgen is prepared to manufacture all kinds of cabin interior or other parts, even complex geometries, e.g. cup holders, partitions, light covers, grip rails, frames, etc.. Every tailor- made part can be produced by FDM with low cost and short processing times.

Reproduction Existing parts used in an aircraft that are not produced any more can be reproduced using FDM and finished like conventionally manu- factured parts.
