Producing complex aerospace parts, like the turbine blades on this jet engine, requires a hybrid approach, combining additive manufacturing’s design freedom with the tight tolerances, controlled surface finishes and consistent geometric accuracy that subtractive manufacturing (e.g., CNC) provides.
Aerospace manufacturing relies on the successful fusion of additive manufacturing techniques with CNC machining.
