Recently Magnetic MRO sent out its research and development specialists to discover 3D printing possibilities at MAC Interiors' manufacturing facility, Magnetic MRO said in a press release. This led MAC Interiors to use 3D printing technology in their production process for the very first time in the company's history.

"MAC Interiors recently started a new program with a leading aircraft interior product manufacturer in order to design and produce functional mock-ups for a client's new product. This was the first time that MAC Interiors has ever designed 3D printed parts for a client, which resulted in high quality production with the assistance of Magnetic MRO," the press release said without giving the name of the partner company.  

Founded as Aviation Furnishings International Ltd. in 1962, the UK-based MAC Interiors focuses on the retrofitting and refurbishment of lavatories, galleys, seating, partitions, stowages, monuments and VIP interiors for commercial aircraft.

Situated on the territory of the Tallinn airport, Magnetic MRO has been engaged in aircraft repair and maintenance since establishment in 2002. The company doubled revenue from 18 million to 36 million euros last year. The company belonged to SAS until 2010 when it was acquired by Baltcap Private Equity Fund. In 2014 two Cypriot companies, Sasmex Investments Ltd and Tiaravia Services Ltd, acquired one-third of the shares in the company. At present Baltcap owns 70% and four minority shareholders 30% of the company.
