YouTuber Integza is known for a few things; pushing home-fabrication and 3D-printing to their respective limits, and being a little eccentric. The latter you just have to accept, the former is ...
3D printed materials have come a long way in the last decade or so as printers have become more and more mainstream. Printers can use all kinds of different plastics with varying physical character… ...
Some printers can 3D print using metals and alloys, but every technology has limitations. Can a fully functional engine be manufactured using a 3D printer?
The Quest to 3D-Print a Passenger Plane Engine — And Fly It Discover how the 3D printed engine Catalyst is revolutionizing aviation, promising efficiency and sustainability for future flights.
The design team is looking at other places where advances in materials science and 3D-printed alloys can shave weeks, months, and ultimately dollars off rocket engine production.
Today you’d 3D print them, but in the 70s, that wasn’t an option. So they used wax. You can see a video about the process, including a build of a model rocket engine, in the video below.
3D printing has been used for decades to prototype parts — but now, with advances in laser technology, modeling and printing technology, GE has actually 3D printed a complete product. Xinhua Wu, a ...
But rather than actually 3D printing an engine, designers 3D print the molds that will define the shape of their engine blocks.
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.
