Engineers can use the VR Suite to visualise how their designs would interact with the aircraft in a virtual world, before 3D printing them out (BAE Systems)
British aerospace manufacturer BAE Systems is making a big push into 3D printing and virtual reality (VR) in order to drastically speed up the production times of military aircraft.
On 15 March BAE Systems opened the doors to its New Product and Process Development Centre (NPPDC) in Samlesbury, Lancashire for the first time. The centre will be focused on using 3D printing and VR to reduce costs and speed up manufacturing processes for several military aircraft, including the Eurofighter Typhoon and the BAE Systems Hawk.
