France’s萨弗兰集团是世界上最大的航空航天公司之一，宣布将在法国波尔多开设6800万欧元的增材制造业校园。该公司名为Campus Safran添加剂，已获得该综合大楼的本地支持，该综合大楼有望在工程，生产和研发中创造200个就业机会。
3D打印引擎
Safran集团于2005年与Snecma和Sagem（国防和消费电子公司）合并。该小组现在有三个主要部门：航空航天推进，飞机设备和防御。
十多年来，Safran一直将3D打印技术应用于其制作过程中。这次，Safran与空中客车3D打印A350的钛液压零件。除此之外，赛峰电子和防御has integratedSOLIDWORKS 3DEXPERIENCE产品生命周期管理平台。
To manufacture aerospace parts, Safran uses industrial metal 3D printers such as the欧洲270DMLS machine and特朗普的Trulaser Cell 7020.功能齐全的3D打印零件已安装在飞机和直升机发动机例如safranAneto, and the Arrano, which feature SLM printed fuel injector nozzles.
The aerospace giant also has an industrial skills center withinSafran Tech, the group’s research and innovation center opened in 2015. At this center, employees are trained to work with additive manufacturing.
为行业增加工作
In Haillan, Bordeaux, the €68 million Campus Safran Additive will be a substantial addition to the company’s 3D printing capabilities. It also presents new opportunities for the Region of New Aquitaine, which will reportedly contribute €6.9 million to help fund the complex.
Alain Rousset, President of the region that also proposed a “Plan for Digital Aquitaine” says, “Safran’s choice shows the attractiveness of our territory and the quality of the ecosystem we have built around the technologies of the future. Additive manufacturing is crucial for our metallurgy sector,” (translation from original French comment.)
Furthermore, workers at a Ford plant in nearby Blanquefort (which is due to be closed this year) will be reclassified to work with 3D printing technology for Safran. Another plant for carbon part manufacturing is also planned in the near future.
