Seat backrest reinforcements
Modern, thin, and lightweight seat panels can be prone to premature failure due to daily wear and tear, exposure to high/low temperatures, and unforeseen forces. Internally-mounted brackets, supports, and doublers can be easily optimized and printed to strengthen seat panels and eliminate common points of failure.

Solutions
Challenge
Making highly complex geometry parts traditionally is not feasible
Solution
Printed repair brackets are designed to reinforce weak spots in original panels
Challenge
Replacing the whole panel may not be feasible due to cost, availability and lead time
Solution
Reinforcements are designed in a way which allows mechanics to easily bond them in place without special training or equipment
Challenge
Repairing thin panels using composites is reactive solution that is time consuming and can still stay visible as a repair
Solution
Printed doublers can take the point loads and spread them across larger areas which reduces loads on the main panel
