What problems has YYI TECH solved in the field of Aerospace manufacturing?
● Forming complex parts
It can handle various metal forming techniques to manufacture parts with complex geometries and different thicknesses. This multifunctionality is crucial in aerospace manufacturing, as parts typically require complex shapes and structures to achieve specific functions. In addition, the advancement of RP technology has made the production of parts more complex, further expanding the application scope in the aerospace field.
● Model
RP technology can transform design ideas into product prototypes with certain structural functions at the fastest speed, transforming design models from "visible" (3D digital models) to "tangible" (solid models). Therefore, RP technology can quickly obtain conceptual products, focusing on the restoration of appearance and display effects. It is usually used for sales demonstrations and market promotion of new products, testing market reactions, and thus improving the market response speed of new product development: reducing development risks.
● Prototype
The rapid prototyping obtained using RP technology can fully evaluate the assembly and manufacturability of the product. Due to the high degree of integration of CAD/CAM in RP technology, it can not only quickly restore the appearance of products, but also quickly produce product parts and structural components, thus enabling verification and analysis of product structure and assembly, rapid evaluation and testing of product design, shortening the development cycle of product development, reducing development costs, and improving the ability to participate in market competition.
● Unit manufacturing,direct production in small batches
By using indirect molding methods and combining various conversion techniques, RP prototypes can be converted into various rapid molds, such as silicone mold technology, RIM technology, simple injection molds, etc., which can conveniently achieve single piece or small batch product production and satisfy the development trend of fast product updates and small batch sizes,
Application of rapid prototyping in Aerospace industry
Aerospace products have the characteristics of complex appearance, small batch size, large differences in part specifications, and high reliability requirements. The shaping of products is a complex and precise process that often requires multiple designs, tests, and improvements, which is costly and time-consuming. RP technology has unique application prospects in the research and development of modern aerospace products due to its agile and diverse process methods and technological advantages.

SLA Resin + SLM Metal 3D Printed Rocket Engine Model
● Customer requirements:
Need 1:20 rocket engine display model, with surface parts made of metal and internal materials not limited.Partial dissection is required to reveal the internal structure
● Production difficulties:
The parts quantity is large, structure is complex, and the assembly difficulty is high
● Quantity: 1set
● Material: Resin+aluminum
● Process: SLA+SLM 3D printing process
● Delivery time: 10days
Our Production solution:
The outer shell of the parts adopt SLM aluminum alloy 3D printing, and the interior adopt RESIN material to reduce costs. During the assembly process, there may be individual part size deviations and deformations, which make it impossible to assemble. Each part needs to be manually repaired before final assembly
