Engineers ‘grow’ prototype with 3-D printer
Todd Bayles and Nathan Pitkovich, mechanical engineers in the 76th Commodities Maintenance Group’s Reverse Engineering and Critical Tooling (REACT) office, use a Leica laser tracker, a 3-D scanner, on a seal retainer prototype for CAD verification. 3-D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a relatively new technology that Tinker’s engineers are in the forefront of helping to revolutionize.
