ORNL & Boeing produce 2-ton Stamp Form Die mould with WAAM 3D printing

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and The Boeing Company have collaborated to 3D print a 2-ton Stamp Form Die (SFD) mould using Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology. This project aims to explore more efficient and cost-effective tooling manufacturing methods for NASA's Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HiCAM) project, focusing on thermoplastic aircraft doors. The 6x4 foot steel mould features integrated curving channels for efficient heating and cooling, and a multi-material design for improved performance, overcoming challenges like warping through simulation and post-processing.

Northrop Grumman Downgraded To ‘Sector Perform’ – RBC Says 6% Sales Growth From 2026 Through 2028 Could Be Best-Case Scenario

RBC Capital has downgraded Northrop Grumman (NOC) to 'Sector Perform' from 'Outperform' and lowered its price target to $525 from $640, following the U.S. Navy's selection of Boeing for the F/A-XX program. The analyst projects a best-case scenario of 6% annual sales growth for Northrop Grumman from 2026 through 2028, citing slower U.S. defense budget growth after fiscal 2027 and the company's lower exposure to international sales as limiting factors. While the B-21, space portfolio, and solid rocket motor business offer potential revenue opportunities, they would require incremental investment, and retail sentiment on Stocktwits remains 'Neutral'.
