Advancing Underwater Sonar Development Using Additive Manufacturing

The underwater sonar industry is rapidly evolving, driven by growing demands for higher resolution and precise control in deep-sea exploration. A key challenge in this field is optimizing towed sonar systems for stability and image clarity — factors that are critical for accurate underwater mapping. Traditional manufacturing methods limit the ability to customize sonar system designs for specific underwater environments, leading to inconsistent imaging results.

Join Tyler Johnson, mechanical engineer lead at Klein Marine Systems, as he shares how their partnership with Endeavor 3D is overcoming these design constraints. Learn how they’re using Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing, paired with durable materials like nylon PA 12 and stainless steel 316L, to create lighter, stronger sonar systems built to withstand harsh underwater conditions.
