What is it about?
A wind tunnel balance is a special type of force transducer used to measure the forces and moments exerted on wind tunnel models. They are costly and time consuming to manufacture using conventional manufacturing methods. We show for the first time that additive manufacturing can be used to manufacture a balance of equivalent measurement quality to a conventionally manufactured balance in significantly less time and at a lower cost.
