Purpose: The purpose of this article is to solve the problem associated with the high cost, high labor intensity and high level of production waste, as well as difficulties in the manufacture of parts of complex shapes that can reduce the weight of the finished product, using subtractive manufacturing. Results: As a result of the analysis, a comparative table of the characteristics of additive and subtractive technologies was compiled, and the advantages of additive manufacturing were highlighted. Discussion: The information of large aerospace companies that have applied additive manufacturing technology has been analyzed and a conclusion has been drawn about the rationality of its implementation in aircraft manufacturingReferences
