2 Fusaro site newest technology evolution: ALM MBDA is investing in Fusaro in Additive Layer Manufacturing technology to gain strategic advantage. We have chosen to be pioneers in Additive Manufacturing technology, mastering it in its evolution, thus maximising opportunities to early benefit from its advantages, i.e.: Time to market reduction Development, manufacturing and support cost optimization Unconstrained structure design Improved product performances Reduced product management costs BENEFITS ON PRODUCT LIFECYCLE Concept Design & Develop Fast prototyping Delivery In Service Think in 3D. More freedom on shape and performance Time reduction Produce in 3D. Time and costs reduction Page 2

9 Boeing patented 3D Printing spare parts management in the application, 3D printing is proving a time-saving production method that enables them to cut back on inventory as well. This patent application is thus an attempt to patent something that is already in use, though the patent is looking towards the future as well. While Boeing is currently only using 3D printing for non-metallic parts for their planes, the application provides cover for a wide range of 3D printable materials as well, including polymers, plasters, metals, and metal alloys. The system described includes, "a parts library, a database, a parts management system, and a three dimensional printing system." Page 9

10 Stampa 3D Logistica e Ricambi, casi reali Diversi episodi riportati recentemente dalla stampa, rendono concreto la rivoluzione in corso, citiamo ad esempio tre case study navali (alta complessità): 1) MAERSK: portacontainer stampa parti di ricambio a bordo 2) US NAVY: Harrier con carrello danneggiato riparato su portaerei USS Bataan 3) CHINESE NAVY: stampanti 3D a bordo Warship Harbin ridurre drasticamente il: costo della logistica di approvvigionamento dei ricambi, lo spazio di stoccaggio sulla nave, oltre ovviamente a rendere le navi, in parte, autonome nella gestione dei ricambi e a consentire interventi in tempo quasi reale Page 10

11 Estendere i modelli di business dei fornitori Forze Armate logica di servizio dove la proprietà intellettuale frutto di investimenti in ingegneria e progettazione venga preservata e valorizzata (incremento dei margini), in un quadro tecnologico sicuro dal punto di vista della tecnologia informatica. collaudati modelli di business (es. Europe Assistance) per la gestione delle criticità (assistenza stradale, emergenze mediche, etc), che possono essere ripresi Unità connessa (in modo sicuro) a Control Room, richiede personalizzazione e invio comando di stampa a bordo (piattaforma inerziale). Archivio digitale ricambi (CAD ) con staff ingegneri per Page 11 modifiche Magazzino ricambi in nave, ridotto ad armadietto polveri. 11
