MACOMB, Mich., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascent Aerospace, a leading provider of tooling systems, factory automation and integration services to the aerospace, defense and space industries, will be an exhibitor at the upcoming AeroDef event in Long Beach, California from November 16-18, 2021. AeroDef is an aerospace and defense manufacturing based conference whose mission is to foster innovation within the industry in order "to reduce costs, expedite production times and maintain manufacturing competitiveness in the global economy."

Ascent will be showcasing a 3D printed trim fixture in booth 533. This fixture was printed using a Thermwood large format additive manufacturing machine, which is located at Ascent's Santa Ana, CA facility. The tool has an integrated vacuum system with cutter grooves and seals to ensure, when used, the part is held to the tool so it can be accurately trimmed and machined.

In addition to exhibiting, Ascent will be the sponsor of the Additive Manufacturing and Composite conference tracks. Sean Henson, Global Product Manager for Composites and Additive Manufacturing at Ascent, will also be speaking about the use of additive manufacturing in the tooling sector and how aerospace companies are continuing to innovate their solutions using composite materials.
