Functional modelling and analysis of landing gear components using additive manufactured parts

为了生产航空航天领域的领先系统，重要的是积极参与各种技术的研究和开发活动。添加制造(AM)，也被称为3D打印，是一项令人兴奋的新技术，为制造和快速原型制造提供了新的可能性，这是以前不可能实现的。虽然AM组件目前不提供适合起落架结构组件的特性，但AM的用途有可能扩展到仅在配合和物理形状方面的原型制作之外。特别是，存在使用AM制造的原型来测试某些起落架部件的物理功能的机会，制造出了非常昂贵的真实原型。今年5月

In order to produce leading systems in aerospace, it is important to actively engage in research and development initiatives on a variety of technologies. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D PRINTING, is an exciting new technology offering new possibilities in fabrication and rapid prototyping not previously possible. While AM components currently do not offer properties appropriate for landing gear structural components, there is a possibility to extend the use of AM beyond prototyping in terms of fit and physical shape alone. In particular, an opportunity exists to use prototypes fabricated using AM to test the physical functionality of certain landing gear components, a very costly real prototype is made. This may
