荷兰皇家荷兰航空公司正在回收PET瓶以创建3D打印设备。A reported first for any airline, this process aims to reduce engineering and maintenance costs, as well as have a more positive impact on the environment.

吨多特曼人, Executive Vice President Engineering & Maintenance (E&M), KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, explained,“我们不断投资于可持续和创新的产品和流程。

“对于我们的客户，社会和我们自己的员工。看到我们如何从废物材料中制造有用的产品真是太棒了。”

圆形添加剂制造过程

By 2030, KLM has launched the goal of reducing the volume of its waste by 50% (in comparison to levels in 2011.) As a result, the airline is increasing the use of materials that can be recycled, one of which is PET. Previously, KLM bought PET from external suppliers to support its E&M division. Now, it is gathering empty PET bottles from its flights and sending them to the Dutch recycling companymorssinkhof rymoplast。There, the plastic is exchanged for high-quality plastic pellets, which are then converted into filament byReflow。

这些瓶子由Morssinkhof Rymoplast在TONNES中检索阿姆斯特丹机场Schipholon an annual basis, commencing the filament production process. According to KLM, its E&M division uses an estimated 1.5 kg of high-quality filament every day. As KLM now supplies PET bottles as raw material, the cost of this filament has dropped from €60/kg to just €17/kg. This has also made is 3D printing operations circular.

KLM和3D打印

KLM E&M uses 3D printers to speed up its repair and maintenance processes. In the past, this has included the development of a plug to prevent rim holes being painted over in the finishing of a Boeing 737. Prior to the plug, disposable, protective tape would have been used. A 3D printed cover has also been created by KLM to help remove overhead baggage bins on board the Boeing 787, making it easier for one mechanic to carry out the task instead of two.

Outside of the E&M department, KLM partnered withLocal Makersto create custom,微型3D印刷房屋作为其商务舱客户的礼物。
