Inside Aerospace Manufacturing: How Today’s Aircraft Parts Are Made
By Paul Jones
This week, MTDCNC’s Paul Jones and Lee Scott travelled to Rorschach, Switzerland, to attend the Starrag Aerospace Technology Days, one of the industry’s leading events dedicated to advanced aerospace manufacturing.
With commercial aircraft production continuing to increase and defence programmes expanding around the world, there has never been a more important time to understand how the components that keep aircraft flying are manufactured.
In this exclusive 20-minute feature, Paul and Lee take viewers behind the scenes to explore the technologies, machining strategies and manufacturing processes used to produce some of the most demanding aerospace components. From structural airframe parts and engine components to landing gear applications, the event demonstrates the innovation driving the sector forward.
The video showcases not only the latest machining technology but also explains where these critical parts are used on an aircraft, why they’re so challenging to manufacture, and how companies are reducing cycle times while improving quality and productivity.
As aircraft manufacturers continue to ramp up production to meet global demand, automation, multi-process machining and lights-out manufacturing are becoming increasingly important. Starrag’s Aerospace Technology Days provide a fascinating insight into how manufacturers are preparing for the next generation of aerospace production.
If you’re involved in aerospace manufacturing—or simply interested in seeing how some of the world’s most advanced aircraft components are produced—this is a feature you won’t want to miss.
