Additive solutions for U.S. Air Force sustainment challenges
Origin One partnered with two companies to design and 3D print an innovative new C3175 hydraulic clamp for the Air Force's F-16 aircraft. Using Henkel LOCTITE 3955 for the clamp and LOCTITE IND402 for its flexible tether, the team printed 54 clamp halves in 24 minutes. 1,296 clamp halves can be printed using one printer in a single day. Post-processing a printed batch can be completed in roughly 20 minutes. The final, optimized clamp design for the C3175-9J employed on F-16 aircraft doubled the strength of the original part while weighing less.
