Here’s the good news: General Electric has created a wonderful 3D model of a jet engine that anyone—even those lacking an aerospace engineering degree—can build themselves, complete with moving parts ...
If you head over to Thingiverse, you can get instructions for a hand-cranked, 3D-printable jet engine, courtesy of GE. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled ...
It's my personal experience that the world has become obsessed with 3D printing. If you want to build things, casting, milling and stamping are just as important. But I wouldn't go as far as to say ...
Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...
The first time Pratt & Whitney’s GatorWorks attempted to 3D-print a combustor for the miniature TJ-150 jet engine, the results were anything but perfect. “Actually, it was terrible”, says Dave Stagney ...
Testing the boundaries of high-grade additive manufacturing, engineers from GE Aviation’s Additive Development center in Cincinnati have 3D printed a mini-jet engine capable of revving up to 33,000 ...
Everybody knows the trick to holding a candle flame to a balloon without it bursting — that of adding a little water before the air to absorb the heat from the relatively cool flame. So [Integza], in ...
The 3D printing (digital manufacturing) market has had a lot of hype over the past few years. Most recently, it seems this technology arena has entered the "trough of disillusionment," as 3D printing ...
Engineers working from a garage-size lab in suburban Melbourne have made the world's first 3D printed jet engine. The work of Amaero Engineering and Monash University has attracted the attention of ...
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. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech ...
General Electric this week revealed that it has completed a multi-year project to print a working jet engine. The engine, small enough to fit in a backpack, was built by a team of technicians, ...
Is it real? Well, yes and no. “While it’s not to scale, this 1.5 inch long model was made entirely from direct metal laser melting and required no assembly,” explains GE in another tweet. Does it work ...
