Abstract
Additive manufacturing is one of the most rapidly developing technologies in the engineering and manufacturing sectors. 3D parts are made and used in various components. The advancement of composite and 3D printing joins hands and produced lots of products to the market. Aerospace industries have also begun making parts using 3D printing technology. Many industries are fabricating their drones and quad raptors by using 3D printing. Aircraft manufactures are making components like clamps, fuel nozzles and much more. In this project we investigated the possibility of making the aircraft internal structure using 3D printing where the manufacturing and the material cost is much higher in this sector.
