Aerospace Manufacturing Processes

People enroll in the “Aerospace Manufacturing Processes” seminar to gain a clear understanding of how aircraft are designed and built, and how aerospace manufacturing differs from automotive production. The seminar provides practical insights into industry-specific product and process characteristics, core assembly technologies, and real-world manufacturing methods, making it valuable for engineers, students, and professionals seeking to build or strengthen their knowledge of aerospace manufacturing practices.

This webinar explores aerospace manufacturing processes, with a focus on product and process characteristics within the aerospace industry. It highlights the key differences between aircraft and automotive manufacturing and introduces the fundamental technologies used in aerospace assembly, including standard methods for assembling aircraft structures.

The session was delivered by Daniel Fantoni CEng FIMechE, a Manufacturing Engineer and University of Cambridge graduate. His professional experience includes work at Alenia Spazio in Turin on space telescopes, CFRP structures, ISS components, and re-entry capsules. He has also served as Project Manager for the Leonardo/CIM4.0 Nacelle Manufacturing Innovation Project.
