Burloak Technologies

Published purpose

This project’s goal is to accelerate the adoption of AM components for space and aerospace applications. Previous IRAP funding allowed Burloak to develop complex thin-walled structures with smooth surface finishes in Aluminum, Titanium and Invar using AM powder bed technologies. The CSA’s STDP Satellite program then allowed for the development of large/complex (Aluminum) space components, which helped us deliver innovative flight-grade RF and structural components. We will continue expanding on this past work by supporting advancements in both micro and large-scale Additive Manufacturing (AM) capability for the Emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Lunar Space Station markets, and to replace forgings for wing spars/landing gear in aerospace.
