Technologies on the day
Carfulan in Aerospace & Defence
Explore how every carfulan technology fits within aerospace and defence.
Aerospace and defence is where measurement, tooling and additive get pushed hardest. This is a day built around the specific challenges Carfulan technologies fix within these sectors.
Parts for aerospace and defence are made to tolerances that leave no margin, from materials that are demanding to work with, and with a requirement to prove and trace everything. That puts pressure on inspection, tooling and lead times, and it is where customers in these sectors most often come to us for help.
Carfulan in Aerospace & Defence brings every one of our technologies together under one roof. Through the morning, each Carfulan company will show how their systems are used on aerospace and defence work, covering measurement and inspection, tool presetting and management, additive manufacturing and first article inspection.
In the afternoon, our demonstration facility is open. Every system on the agenda will be running, our technical team will be on hand, and you are welcome to bring your own parts and drawings to see how they would be measured, printed or preset.
Get up close and personal with all the groups technologies, and see them running live.
We welcome you to bring your drawings and components, to challenge our technologies.
Network and talk to our expert teams who support aerospace and defence companies in the UK.
On the shop floor
Six technologies demonstrated together at the Carfulan Advanced Innovation Centre, so you can discover how they fit alongside each other in an aerospace and defence workflow.
What you will see
Carfulan technology in aerospace & defence
Six technologies, one shop floor. Each company will be presenting and demonstrating on aerospace and defence applications.
Multi-sensor measurement for complex components
Multi-sensor metrology
Optical, laser and touch probe measurement on one platform. Blades, blisks, housings and brackets measured in a single cycle, with data that drops straight into your quality system.
Additive manufacturing for flight, tooling & MRO
Stratasys additive manufacturing
Certified materials including ULTEM 9085 and Antero for cabin and ducting parts, plus jigs, fixtures and drill guides for the shop floor. Stratasys FDM and P3 systems running live.
TOOL PRESETTING, SHRINKING & BALANCING FOR AEROSPACE
Tool presetting and management
Titanium, Inconel and composites punish tooling. See how ZOLLER presetting, inspection and tool management bring repeatable tool data to the machine, cut setup time and keep a record of every tool that touches a part.
Non-contact measurement of turned components
Turned part measurement
Shafts, pins, fasteners and fittings measured in seconds. See the combined laser and probe configuration handle threads, grooves, runout and complex profiles on high-volume aerospace parts.
Shopfloor inspection at the machine
Shopfloor optical measurement
Complete part profiles measured in one cycle, by the operator, next to the machine that made them. Hundreds of critical dimensions in seconds without a trip to the quality room.
Auto-ballooning & AS9102 FAI reporting
First article inspection software
Take the drawing, balloon it automatically, build the inspection plan and produce the AS9102 report. See how DISCUS turns days of FAI preparation into hours, and how it links to OGP measurement data.
