VELO3D announces that it has partnered with Boom Supersonic, the Colorado company building a fast supersonic airliner, to manufacture the flight hardware necessary to build XB-1, Boom’s Mach-2.2 supersonic demonstrator aircraft. Boom is leveraging VELO3D’s Intelligent Fusion technology. XB-1 is an independently-developed supersonic jet that is aiming to prove the key technologies in-flight for safe, efficient travel at Mach 2.2 (1,687mph). XB-1 combines over 3,700 parts and some of the most advanced technologies including advanced carbon fiber composites, a refined delta wing planform, and an efficient variable-geometry propulsion system. XB-1 has functional, performance, and precision requirements, so Boom turned to…

…expanding its additive metals offering with the addition of VELO3D’s Sapphire 3D print system and Flow software. The Sapphire laser fusion metal additive manufacturing system allows for printing of complex part geometries with in-situ metrology, closed-loop control, and low-to-no support structures. The solution’s built-in tools include support generation, simulated print predictions, per-surface process application, slice composer and process review. This functionality allows for 3D printed production of complex metal components with more quality control, the company reports. “The Sapphire system from VELO3D is an important part of advancing our capabilities to include using additive metals in applications and geometries previously…
