In additive manufacturing (AM) in aerospace and defense, documentation overhead is one of the most persistent barriers to getting parts into production. Boeing was sitting on a substantial backlog of technical data packages for casting and 3D printed parts, at a cost its engineering teams could no longer absorb. Authentise, a Philadelphia-headquartered digital workflow management company, worked with Boeing to deploy an AI-assisted documentation tool that Boeing estimates will save approximately $8 million in engineering costs in its first year of deployment.
Simon McCaldin, Open Innovation Lead at Authentise, laid out how that system works at the AMA: Aerospace Space and Defence 2025 event.
