Mandate

Prototyping for polycarbonate wiring conduits

Goals

When the aircraft recently underwent an experimental tail-wiring upgrade, technicians at Bell Xworx opted for the industrial FDM technology with the Fortus system to build tough polycarbonate wiring conduits. Technicians installed the branching conduits in six mating sections inside the Osprey’s twin vertical stabilizers for on-the-ground testing of its wiring.
