About the Video

You may think 3D printing is a recent technology, but Boeing has been innovating the process for over 30 years! Get a behind-the-scenes look at one of Boeing’s additive manufacturing centers, where parts and tools are 3D printed for state-of-the-art aircraft. Discover the difference between additive and subtractive manufacturing, and see how advanced simulations are used to streamline and gain insight into the manufacturing process.

“We’re working on a technology that will both make better parts and enable things that have never been possible before.”
