    Saab fait voler une pièce de fuselage d’avion de combat imprimée en 3D

    Le constructeur suédois Saab est parvenu, pour la première fois, à faire voler un avion équipé d'une pièce extérieure imprimée en 3D. L'avionneur utilise la technologie de la fabrication additive depuis quatre ans, notamment pour imprimer des pièces internes, précise L'Usine Nouvelle. La pièce, une trappe située sur le flanc arrière du fuselage de l'appareil, un modèle Gripen, a été imprimée sur la base du scan de la pièce originelle. Parfaitement ajustée à l'avion, elle n'a montré « aucun changement structurel visible après le vol d'essai », assure Hakan Stake, responsable du projet, dans un communiqué. Cette démonstration devrait, à terme, « permettre au personnel sur le terrain d'avoir accès à des pièces de rechange ajustées individuellement, d'éviter les réparations d'urgence ou de cannibaliser un appareil déjà endommagé », souligne-t-il. Il estime par ailleurs que cette solution permettra de réduire le nombre de pièces transportées lors du déploiement d'un appareil et de réduire son temps de réparation. De nombreuses étapes de certification du matériau utilisé, un polyamide 2200, couramment utilisé dans la fabrication additive, sont encore nécessaires avant de déployer la technologie sur le terrain.
