GKN Aerospace continues to expand additive fabrication for fan case mount rings (FCMR), aiming to reduce material waste and lead times while supporting demand for GTF engines.

“This is a turning point for aerospace manufacturing,” said GKN Aerospace president for engines Joakim Andersson. “With the FCMR program at industrial scale, we are proving not just the technical capabilities of additive fabrication, but its real-world impact on sustainability, lead time, and cost as well as bringing predictability to our supply chain,” said GKN Aerospace president for engines Joakim Andersson.
