Science 3D-printed mini jet engine revved up to 33,000rpm GE creates a little-engine-that-could using an advanced metal 3D-printing technique and then put it through testing like a full-size engine.
If you head over to Thingiverse, you can get instructions for a hand-cranked, 3D-printable jet engine, courtesy of GE.
[amazingdiyprojects] has been working on a 3D printable jet engine. You may remember seeing a 3D printed jet engine grace our front page back in October. That one was beautiful didn’t functio… ...
Using a 3D printing technique called direct metal laser melting, engineers at GE have created a mini jet engine that can roar up to 33,000 RPMs.
He’s designed a rather awesome jet engine in 3D Software, and printed it on his UP Plus printer. The engine itself is a cutaway model of a high-bypass turbofan engine.
GE just 3D printed a jet engine—complete and functioning. It’s a pretty cool trick. The engine, about the size of a football, is a much-simplified version of something you might see ...
CFM International, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial airline engines, is using some 3D-printed components to help improve the fuel efficiency of its new line of jet engines by 15 ...
It's one thing to 3D-print something as advanced as a jet engine, but it's another to fuel it up and push the start button. That's the step that GE Aviation took when it recently fired up a simple ...
GE was able to create a working jet engine using an additive manufacturing technique known as direct metal laser melting. The resulting engine's turbine achieved 33,000 rpm.
Engineers have, for the first time in the world, printed two jet engines using sophisticated 3D printers that can make complex objects using metals like titanium and aluminium. Australian ...
The miniature jet engine the engineers at GE built was actually a modified version of one you’d find in an RC model plane. As a result, it’s incredibly simple and basic compared to the jet ...
Engineers working from a garage-size lab in Melbourne’s suburbs have made the world’s first 3D printed jet engine.
