More than 50 percent weight savings in
aircraft construction is now possible using hypermodern production techniques. A
process called 3-D laser sintering of the raw material permits a completely new
kind of fabrication. This process can reduce aircraft component part counts and
improve designs, leading to enormous savings in weight and volume. The only
equipment for this process in Austria - and at its time the second in the world
- is located at FOTEC in Wiener Neustadt. The research subsidiary of the
University of Applied Sciences located there is presently optimising the
monitoring and quality control of the production process, while manufacturing a
fuel collector for an aircraft engine that is even around 75 percent lighter
than before.
