Curious how you do quality control and machine-to-machine variation studies? Do you have CSAM inspection or some kind of X-ray inspection techniques for finding voids/abnormalities?
That was really interesting to read. I shouldn't be so dismissive, sounding like an old record. I would however be dismissive if proper analysis isn't done on the parts and generally deteriorating standards on quality of parts. People's lives are at stake and we were very conservative in building the frames I worked on. Not just FAA but other agencies were watching us.
- johnwalkr 6y agoX-ray inspection is indeed done for critical parts. I found reference to cosmetic interior 3D printed parts being used in production to test the waters. I don't work in anything related to human safety, and I think very few parts on an airframe would be suited to 3D printing (surely something though). If you're coming from that background it makes sense to be very skeptical. But as another commenter mentioned, some aircraft engine parts are already 3D printed.
