Improving Aerodynamic Performance

Wind–tunnel testing is an integral part of the design process in many industries to verify and tune the aerodynamic properties of solid objects. Whether an object is stationary or mobile, wind tunnels provide insight into the effects of air as it moves over or around the test model.

Benefits of 3D Printing Wind Tunnel Testing

Time and Cost Savings

Compared with machining and model making, 3D printing with either PolyJet or FDM Technology is faster, less expensive and more efficient.
