Rhidian Grant with Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies was our speaker on Thursday. 

 

AMT is a U.K. company but the Arlington division is the largest in terms of employees and revenue.  There are over 7,000 employees worldwide.

 

AMT uses “5 axis manufacturing” to make parts cheaper and more efficiently and utilizes “Just in Time” manufacturing techniques.

 

 

85% of the parts produced goes to Boeing.  Boeing no longer manufacturers parts they just put the planes together.

 

AMT substantially reduces the weight of the parts and adds value by not just machining the parts but also assembling them.  They offer kits to end consumer so the product is more user-friendly.
