The F-35 flew with a part printed on an 3D printer. Stealth parameters are not affected?

152
The officer of the US Marine Corps air wing Daniel Rodriguez flew the F-35B fighter, in which one of the parts was printed on an 3D printer. It is reported that we are talking about the printed part of the bumper on the chassis of the fighter.





In the American press it is reported that in the 121 th fighter squadron of the US Marine Corps, it was decided to experiment with the 3D printer against the background of wear parts, the replacement of which involved the replacement and the entire site. This required a lot of time.

Портал DefenseNews reports that the sergeant Adrian Willis, a representative of the Marine Corps, instead of waiting for weeks for the entire F-35B site to be replaced, decided to offer the 3D print. The commission in the body of the US Navy checked the received part and approved it for installation on a fighter.

From the statement of Willis:
I think 3D printing is definitely the future.


If 3D printing is the future of fighter aviation in the USA, does this mean that in the USA they are sure that when using printed parts the stealth characteristics of the F-35 will not change for the worse?

The commander of the unit noted that in this case it is important to combine such parameters as the reliability of the obtained part, and saving time and money.

Willis' team is now working on 3D-printing a part for a ground-based mini-camera lens cap.drone iRobot 310.

      Of course wassat We do not produce anything, even machines have not learned how to make in 20 years. The cuts are continuous, but everywhere they say that a breakthrough, but in fact zilch ..

          Photo right now from my home workshop. Yes, not mass production, but the fact that the store costs hundreds, if not thousands, costs me ten to fifty times cheaper. Three printers eat in a month as two laptops, i.e. less than an electric kettle, even slightly less than a stationary computer. The cost of all three together is slightly higher than 30 tr. This is the cost. Quality depends on print settings. Strength depends on the material used, PLA plastic is enough for me. Everything is eco-friendly. Those. it is essentially corn starch. The outer shell of the thermos is just printed on the photo. 1kg costs 700 rubles. In general, the future has already come, I recommend changing the stone ax to a laser epilator;)

            belay A F-35 can? Seriously, I was surprised, but in terms of strength, what about metal this shaitan machine can, well, for example, a bolt at least 4.6 strength categories and how long does it take to manufacture and how is this thing programmed, will it be difficult for a teapot to program (complete)? Well, a personal question, what is the thermos case for you if the flask usually quacks and doesn’t seem to you that you are hammering nails with a microscope? laughing and a serious personal question is where to buy and how and where to learn it?

              It is these balalaikas that I have that can print four or five (I do not remember exactly) types of plastic, right down to the strings for the lawn mower. The main thing is that the bar diameter is 1.5-1.75 mm and the melting temperature is not higher than 290 degrees. For metal printing, a shaitan-arba is required at a cost of 10 llamas. Unfortunately, it’s not on my budget, and even to make bolts on it, as well as a sparrow gun, an MFP with a CNC will do better and faster. Printed plastics with steels, even low-alloyed, cannot yet compete. This is a question about a microscope ;-)
              A stainless steel thermos flask, but the case with the screw cap has staggered, plus the shape of the case is drawn according to needs, exclusive, so to speak. The cost of a printed case with a cover is about 70 rubles. Printing time is about seven hours. On average parameters in speed and quality. The cost of a new half-liter thermo mug is about 600 rubles, maybe even higher.
              30 wooden for three, but not for one, by the way. For 12 he took the first one, he paid off with two orders in four days. Three weeks later, he earned the other two, which turned out to be taken at a discount of 9.500. The Chinese are the Chinese ... If interested, then the rest is in PM.

This is ALREADY in our reality, this is not fiction, but a convenient tool for more simple and quick results. Almost like a phone or email, or a mobile bank. I mean, that these are not toys for the elite, but a tool available to everyone. For any budget, depending on goals and objectives. And in industrial production 3D printers are no longer a curiosity, like plasma cutters and lasers and other CNCs in the eighties. Everything is working. Use the search engine (the technology is also fabulous, agree ;-), and many questions will disappear by themselves))

                  Yes, injection molding machines now rule. In your market sector. But they have limitations, primarily on the size of the monolithic part that can be manufactured on them, and on the time of preparation for the production of the final product. 3d printers, in fact, is their development. More precisely, the lateral branch. They successfully complement each other.

                    At our place, 3д makes models for research and experiments, as well as molds for thermoplastics and dies for casting or stamping light alloy metals under pressure, and tooling. A simple example, a line for water spilling in PET with a capacity of up to 30000 thousand bottles / hour consumes the same number of primitive covers. So the industrial scale and the 3 printer are even close incompatible, but as an auxiliary tool for the above purposes, individual crafts and creativity, a good solution, no more, until they invent a nuclear molecular 3 printer with the ability to create materials at the level of a crystal lattice .

      right - machine tool industry. An industry that the CIA has prioritized for destruction. .And it seemed obliging crooks that unique plants were felled in Kiev and in St. Petersburg. So the Kiev machine-gun factory produced machine tools (KA-608) for the production of shells for multiple launch rocket systems from an unknown country. Leningrad plant named after Sverdlov - unique coordinate boring machines export - to 60 countries of the world - destroyed (arson and closure). At the Krasnodar Plant named after Sedin, cheerful Americans first went in and bought all thinking staff through an emergency at him and then closed it. And the Ivanovo plant, the pride of the industry, lies at the bottom. the desire of Dimon and CO to revive the industry in conditions of sanction is a ridiculous attempt to comrades who are far from reality. Fortunately, only South Korea remained, which can supply high-tech equipment. as for this thing Z D printer. In order to understand the meaning of this infusion, you need to think about what metal is and its properties, heat treatment and others, as for plastic and other carbon fiber stuff, the cost of their manufacture in this garbage is critical. Yes, it is possible to produce molds, but products on it are already crazy money. In short -advertising for drank dough

Alumotitanium alloy is not a single crystal, it is understandable. Printing blades from various alloys mastered, and not only in Siemens, but also with us, it seems.

          About the mold for casting is not entirely true. A master model is printed on the printer, according to which they mold the mold in the old fashioned way. It turns out more precisely than to be carried by the hands of a sculptor or a turner / milling machine operator, and cheaper than cutting on CNC. For one-piece forms, models of water-soluble or low-melting plastics are used, but the forms themselves, as a rule, are rarely printed on 3D printers, and mainly for cold casting.

          1. Wrong comparison. It is necessary to compare not with hands, but with continuous industrial production.
          2. Lid tolerances are completely different from those required for serious products. And this means that you will have to print in ultra-thin layers. Which progressively increases print time. In this case, all the same, the cleanliness of the surfaces will not be conditional.

      After printing, nothing prevents processing the part further, spraying any coatings onto the product, and pressing with other parts. You are simply conservative, meet the new with hostility. smile

      This is a fighter after all. There must be high accuracy. But the idea is clear: it’s useful to keep printers at military bases in order to save time. "Workshops" will be organized directly on large UDC, ship-docks, aircraft carriers.

            And if you think about Aleksey, then having a warehouse with finished parts is better and more practical, took it from the warehouse and changed it .....
            But you think if the machine (printer) began to make a marriage, it broke, how long it will take to fix the machine, breakdowns are different. Meanwhile, the factory has more than one such machine and the failure of one of the machine will not greatly affect production. And also the plant also has a warehouse of finished products .... hi

    Poor things. For weeks waiting for the right spare part. Such software of probable partners I like. lol
    2. Something they get confused in the testimony.
    ... the replacement of which involved the replacement of the entire unit ...

    I didn’t understand, then this bastard broke, and it changes along with the entire assembly. And if you print it on 3d, then you can not change the node? And if not printed, but the original one should be given to this sergeant, then what? Can't put in place?

    I will say one thing ... What is the difference between classical technology and 3D printing ... You take a workpiece, process it, then heat treatment almost always follows ... But with 3D printing this is essentially the same as pressing by pressing .. For example, metal fittings (personal experience) pressed serve on the strength of a year ... made by classical technology ... ten years ...

      All wrong, wrong, and wrong. Or maybe I didn’t understand. Explain how pressing differs from classical technology and how printing differs from pressing? After answering these questions, you yourself will understand in which cases mechanical processing is used, in which press, in which extrusion is under pressure, and in which conventional atmospheric extrusion is used, as in printers. I’ve already written today, I repeat - no need to fry potatoes with a soldering iron.
