Abstract : Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has emerged as a pivotal technology in aerospace manufacturing, enabling the creation of lightweight and high-strength components. Recent advancements in FDM materials, process optimization, and design methodologies have significantly enhanced its applicability in producing aerospace parts that meet stringent performance criteria. This paper reviews the latest developments in FDM technology, focusing on material innovations, structural optimization techniques, design for additive manufacturing and practical applications in the aerospace sector. Key advancements include the use of high-performance thermoplastics, carbon fiber composites, and hybrid materials, as well as improved printing techniques that reduce defects and enhance mechanical properties. The potential of FDM to revolutionize aerospace manufacturing through cost- effective and efficient production of complex geometries is explored, highlighting ongoing research and future directions in this dynamic field.

Keywords : Fused Deposition Modeling, Aerospace Manufacturing, Light Weight Components, 3D Printing in Aerospace applications, Structural Optimization.
