Abstract Aircraft maintenance and repair personnel have a tough job - for a number of reasons. First, they must ensure that every part on the aircraft they service can withstand the rigors of flight to minimize the risks to the safety of the crew and any passengers that might be on board. They also must minimize aircraft downtime while making sure that repair costs are controlled. Northrop Grumman Corp. (El Segundo, CA) has mastered this balancing act, largely due to the efforts of its rapid prototyping and manufacturing (RP&M) team, which has shown a remarkable ability for creating the perfect modification tool for the task at hand. The team also discovered a surefire method for reducing - to an absolute minimum - both the time and cost associated with building those tools. The team uses stereolithography (SL) from 3D Systems (Valencia, CA) to create tools. XX
