Aviation and aerospace demands for lightweight profile construction, but precise shapes and fits for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency make PBT a perfect fit. Aviation and aerospace - civil, commercial and military - are expanding mobility industries requiring lightweight versatile construction and error-free precision. The highest quality materials and expectations for perfectly bent profile radii put real pressure on manufacturers. Lightweight aluminum profiles are the norm to minimize weight, drag and as a consequence, fuel consumption.
Manufacturers use a.o. profiles conducive to an aerodynamic form while simultaneously creating the necessary stability. PBT machines and experts in both Switzerland and in North America through Boschert USA specialize in exactly these very highly demanding profile bending processes.
