CCMA Kicks Off

CCMA opened with over 600 regular supplier attendees and over 70 airline participants. ASA was invited to address the airline closed meeting on strategies for airline use of additive manufacturing and we discussed the importance of both supplier control and manufacturing process control over n implementing additive manufacturing as a production method. We also discussed the proposition that additive manufacturing is a technology that suppliers may be able to use to better support airline needs, so air carriers should be prepared to work with their suppliers on additive manufacturing methods.
