The Materialise Mindware: Aerospace Training provided a valuable overview (maturity in the aerospace industry, design and certification guidelines, technologies, and processes), for the implementation of additive manufacturing for serial production within aerospace. 
Examples of printed parts illustrated the design possibilities and surface finishes and will inspire designers to design for additive manufacturing. Overall, the training was greatly appreciated by the Pilatus team.
