How East/West Used the Fortus 450mc to Improve Aerospace Production

East/West Industries, a trusted supplier to Boeing and Lockheed Martin, adopted the Fortus 450mc to reduce fixture lead times, cut tooling costs, and free up CNC capacity.

This case study shows how additive manufacturing improved aerospace part readiness by two weeks while supporting inclusive, efficient production.

The result: over 50% cost savings, a 2+ day reduction in lead time, and production readiness up to two weeks faster.
