Beehive Industries

We'll see you at AAAA. Scott Williams and Heather Somervill are in attendance and eager to talk about high performance, low cost, additively enabled jet propulsion for the warfighter.

Join us for an evening of appetizers, drinks, and information about how Beehive Industries is changing the landscape of jet propulsion manufacturing. 

The Honorable Heidi Shyu, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and Department of Defense’s Chief Technology Officer, visited the Beehive Denver facility on April 10th.   It was an honor to show Ms. Shyu and her team what we’re doing to make defense manufacturing faster, more affordable, and more reliable by making it additively—right here in the USA.  Beehive host team featured below: Jean Lydon-Rodgers, Gordie Follin, David Kimball, Darius Ehteshami, and Chris Cavoretto

Metal Additive Manufacturing magazine has published an interesting read about Beehive Industries. Check it out. Great magazine. Great story. #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine

FIRST FIRE REWIND 4: Lubrication, fuel, ignition, rotation, evaluation, a little more, a little further, a little faster. Spin it up, add fuel and heat, trust the process, let ’er rip. A never before 16 months from design to first fire. Pushing the limits of what’s possible has just begun.     #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine

FIRST FIRE REWIND 3: Test cell prep, connections, troubleshooting, systems check, recheck, air supply, fuel, controls, monitoring, recheck, again, again. Three months of final details—the stage is set. #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine

FIRST FIRE REWIND 2: An expert team working aggressively toward a goal of making something that’s never been done and faster than ever before. Design, quality, assembly, instrumentation—in-house (Cincinnati), no excuses. 13-month journey. Next stop, Denver. #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine

FIRST FIRE REWIND 1: Designing for additive means taking advantage of part consolidation, rapid iteration, material and print capabilities, and geometries impossible to manufacture by traditional means. Driving toward a better product—faster—with minimal post-processing and at a dramatically lower price. #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine

STOP BY to see Beehive Industries at the Sea-Air-Space Conference and Exposition, powered by the Navy League of the United States. This event is the premier maritime exposition in the U.S. featuring defense industry leaders and military decision makers from around the globe sharing the latest updates surrounding the maritime domain. We’ll be ready to talk about ‘first fire’ of our additively enabled jet engine and Beehive’s ability to rapidly scale production to meet the Navy’s unique needs. #additivemanufacturing #missiledefense #propulsionsystems #jetengine Gordie Follin Scott Williams Paul Croisetiere Heather Somervill
