Eaton, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, has opened a new European Centre of Additive Manufacturing at its aerospace manufacturing campus in Wimborne, UK, expanding its capacity for production-scale metal AM and strengthening support for regional aerospace programmes.

The new facility brings together design, engineering, Additive Manufacturing and validation capabilities under one roof, enabling Eaton to support the development and production of certified aerospace components closer to customers. According to the company, the investment will help address increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance components while improving supply chain resilience through more localised production.
