Summary
The implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) has resulted in the creation of an aerodynamic sensor housing featuring a complex internal structure. It also consolidates over 12 individual parts into a single component, thereby reducing the number of inspections required. This application of AM has not only enhanced efficiency but also streamlined the manufacturing process.
