Paradigm 3D launch 3D-printing facility with Stratasys conforming to aerospace regulation
Paradigm 3D opened the doors to its AED20 million 3D-printing facility in Dubai , the first in the Middle East capable of producing parts in accordance with the aerospace-specific EASA Part 21G regulation .
Outfitted with 3D printers from Stratasys , the facility will initially focus on producing parts for the region ’ s aviation industry . The 10,750 sq ft factory in the Jabel Ali Industrial Area will initially have a production capacity of approximately 2,000 additively manufactured parts per year , with expectations to grow to around 20,000 per year over the next decade .
Typical components produced at the facility will include aircraft interior components for seating , lavatories , electronic cooling ducts , environment control system ducting , wire guides , filter boxes , micro vanes , gaskets , component connectors , air intake manifolds and more .
Across the world , aircraft and cabin interior product manufacturers including Boeing , Collins Aerospace , BAE Systems , Airbus , Diehl Aviation , Safran Seats , use additive manufacturing systems from Stratasys .
“ What makes Paradigm 3D ’ s facility unique is that it is the only 3D printing service provider in the Middle East that will be certified to
produce 3D-printed parts for private and commercial aircraft ,” said Stratasys EMEA President , Andreas Langfeld .
Having this capability in Dubai will reduce the lead time for replacement parts by weeks , even months , helping airlines keep their planes in operation more predictably .
This will not only reduce operational costs , particularly around logistics , but it will also reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation of these spare parts .
Paradigm 3D has partnered with Stratasys ’ long-time Dubai-based platinum partner , The Design to Manufacturing Company , theD2Mco and Latvia-based certified aerospace production company , AM Craft which holds an EASA Production Organisation Approval , POA . theD2Mco installed the industrial 3D printers at the new facility and will be responsible for 24-7 uptime and support .
