As aerospace manufacturers continue to seek lighter, more efficient components and more resilient supply chains, additive manufacturing is gaining broader interest across the industry. Eaton’s newest additive manufacturing facility is designed to support localized, production-scale additive manufacturing in Europe and help customers address complexity, supply chain resiliency and production-readiness needs.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
"By expanding our additive manufacturing capabilities in Europe, we’re enabling customers to move faster from design to production of certified components," said Tomasina Bailey, vice president, engineering, Aerospace Group, Eaton. "With deep engineering expertise and integrated capabilities, Eaton is setting the standard for scaling additive in aerospace—delivering the performance, reliability and design flexibility customers need to deliver next generation platforms at scale."

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Located at Eaton’s aerospace manufacturing campus in Wimborne, the facility integrates design, engineering, printing and validation in a single environment. With its European Centre of Additive Manufacturing now operational, Eaton strengthens its ability to support regional aerospace programs and enables more resilient, localized production in Europe.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
"Eaton expects to expand the facility’s capabilities to further boost its ability to support high-reliability commercial and military programs at scale," said Mike York, director of additive manufacturing and digital design, Aerospace Group, Eaton. "Based on customer requirements and operational readiness, the company anticipates using titanium and electron beam additive processes and is working towards achieving rigorous AS9100 aerospace quality certification."

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Eaton’s additive manufacturing capabilities enable the production of lighter, more efficient components while reducing material usage and minimizing the need for tooling. At the core of the facility is Eaton’s largest metal additive manufacturing system, capable of delivering up to twice the productivity of previous platforms—enabling faster development cycles, increased throughput for complex, safety-critical components.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Eaton’s global manufacturing network spans multiple regions—providing dual-sourced, regionally aligned solutions for customers. This expanded network gives global aerospace customers improved supply chain resilience and redundancy, reducing logistical delays and ensuring business continuity for critical programs.
