ECO-START
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF MACHINED PRODUCTS
The Buy to Fly index quantifies the material waste that is converted into scrap in the form of chips when machining metal parts to obtain a final geometry. In the aerospace industry, this averages 12:1 for structural parts and up to 20:1 for engine parts, or in other words, 20 kg of starting material as a block or preform is required for every kilogram of final part. The process also requires energy consumption and machining consumables (cutting fluids and tools) that leads to this process having a high environmental impact.
ADDILAN, manufacturer of high added value and medium-large components for sectors such as aeronautics and aerospace, has led ECO-START, with the collaboration of the specialist eco-design consultancy firm, IK-INGENIERIA, the TECNALIA Technology Centre and ACITURRI, one of the leading companies in the aeronautics sector in Spain.
