Case Study: German RepRap x400 prints a prototype camera mount for an Airbus Helicopter

by Alexander Hussain
Airbus Helicopter’s Deutschland GmbH wanted to outfit their helicopters with observation cameras allowing for possible future applications for the police or army to aid in following movements on the ground. Historically, this process would require a part to be cut from aluminum and a “trial and error” period that would increase both cost and overall time required.  However, using the x400 3D Printer from German RepRap, several prototypes were printed for testing which cut both cost and manufacturing time.

Case Study: GRR x400 Slams the Door on Laser-Sintered Models

by Alexander Hussain
The decision to change from a laser-sinter process to the fused-filament fabrication (FFF) was not only driven by the cost savings.  “The parts are a lot more rigid than the laser-sintered models”, says Thomas Pazulla, “The model contains hooks which often broke off in the past.”
