Expanding Professional 3D Printing Success Across Raytheon

Your peers across Raytheon are already scaling additive to speed time-to-market. From ESD housings to lightweight tooling and fast prototypes, 3D printing is delivering efficiency gains and cutting cycle times by 40% or more. Don’t let bottlenecks slow your facility down.

Join your Raytheon peers who are using Additive to hit deadlines faster.

 

Why Leading Teams Aren’t Waiting

Short lead times and changing program needs make make-vs-buy decisions critical. Polymer additive helps you:

  • Compress timelines (weeks → days) for tools, fixtures, housings
  • Reduce vendor risk with in-house builds
  • Iterate faster across prototyping, pre-prod, and sustainment
  • Standardize processes and materials across sites

What’s already working

Raytheon teams are applying polymer AM to:

  • Avionics & payload enclosures (including ESD-safe parts)
  • Jigs, fixtures & workholding for assembly and test
  • Composite layup & sacrificial tooling to speed iterations
  • Ducts & brackets for rapid design changes (see guide below)
  • Fit/functional prototypes that feed production decisions

Need

Technology Fit

Notes

Short-run production / durable brackets

SAF (PA12)

Consistent parts, good for batches and spares

Fine features / housings / sealing surfaces

Origin P3

Production-grade photopolymers; great surface finish

High-temp / ESD / rugged tooling

FDM (ULTEM®, PEKK/ESD)

Large build volume, machinable; shop-floor tough

Fast prototypes / masters

SLA

Smooth surfaces; patterns for coating or molding

  (Your AM advisor will match applications to qualified materials and site requirements.)

Business Impact
