Additive manufacturing (AM) has become an integral part of modern Space Exploration Technology by offering an array of benefits like unparalleled design flexibility, faster product lead times and reduced cost.
While AM enables the production of fascinating and intricate designs, the development of high precision components like rocket thrusters is still not a trivial task. Modern software solutions can help illuminate the production process and drive innovation, while reducing the number of iterations required for successful part production.
In this webinar, AMEXCI, a leading provider of additive manufacturing services, will share insights into their partnership with Oqton, the provider of the most advanced software toolkit for additive production, and explain how they have leveraged Oqton’s Build Quality Suite and Build Preparation toolkit to enable the development and production of rocket thrusters for space tech firm Pythom Space.
Learning Objectives
- Learn about the power of additive manufacturing in the development and production of aerospace components
- Understand how software can help you master the challenges of LPBF additive manufacturing
- Learn specifics about Oqton's Build Quality Suite and Build Preparation toolkit
Speakers
