Latvia-based AM Craft delivers certified, 3D-printed aircraft parts globally, to clients such as Finnair. AM Craft's vision is to enable low-cost, rapid sourcing of a large IP library of parts, delivered sustainably by local certified manufacturing hubs around the world, thereby massively increasing the use of additive manufacturing in spare parts. This huge industry still largely relies on traditional manufacturing methods, leading to massive supply chain challenges and an inability to hit sustainability goals.
