Paramount Uses EOS Laser Sintering for UAVs


Paramount Industries was recently mentioned in a Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) AeroDef Manufacturing newsletter as a leading provider of additive manufacturing and laser sintering services to make components for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) using EOS' technology. The information was sources from an EOS press release.

Additive Manufacturing and laser sintering are perfect fits for UAVs. According to the article:
EOS points out most UAVs are built in low-production runs, with frequent redesigns of parts for changing missions and payloads. With no tooling and little machining or fixturing, additive manufacturing systems such as EOS' are ideal for this era of "mass customization." According to the company, laser-sintering is used to create complex geometries that integrate multiple parts for weight savings and parts that also fit into irregular spaces left in existing assemblies. Parts laser-sintered for UAVs include fuel tanks, engine shrouds, control vanes, filter boxes, and air ducts.

Contact Paramount for more information or to request a quote for laser-sintered UAV components.
