What does the 3DP in Aerospace and Defense Second Edition include?
The product is a downloadable 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (calculators, dashboards, templates) and 20-30 PDF guides (runbooks, briefings, reference cards), organised into the Platinum Tier core files and eleven structured sections covering assessment, requirements, models, processes, performance, governance, sustainment, advanced topics and quick-reference cards.
Without a proven framework for 3D printing projects, aerospace and defence teams risk missed deadlines, regulatory non-compliance, costly re-work and even contract loss. The 3DP in Aerospace and Defense Second Edition eliminates that risk by giving you a ready-to-use, step-by-step playbook that aligns every 3DP initiative with organisational goals, technical feasibility and operational safety, so you never face a failed audit or a lost contract again.
