Sealant Support Tool for the Aeronautical Sector

CATEC (Center for Advanced Aerospace Technologies) has designed and developed a robotic aeronautic sealingtool, for sealing the edges of carbon fiber parts, and for aerodynamic and threadsealing.
The pieces made in FFF with JCR 1000 include the supports for the profilometers used to check the quality of the thread sealant, and the main parts of the nozzle designed to apply the sealant.

One of the main features of the nozzle is that it is designed to use disposable cartridges, so that the parts that have contact with the sealing do not need any maintenance. The main function of these parts is to calibrate application and perform some initial tests before machining the end pieces, in order to ensure that the tool is robust and to achieve a pneumatic seal.
