In 2014, eight engineers started a secret project behind the walls of GE Aviation’s headquarters. Their challenge? Build an aircraft engine with 3D printing instead of traditional manufacturing. The ...

The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam board ...

The next time you hop on a plane, there’s a good chance some of its parts will have been made using a printer. The world’s top aerospace firms are increasing their use of 3D printers in order to speed ...

3D printing has popped up on the cutting-edge of some surprisingly diverse industries: food, healthcare, retail, and now aerospace. The aerospace business is driven by the following factors: weight, ...

Next time you’re in an airplane, think about what the airplane is made out of. Because someday, that airplane is going to be made of parts from a 3D printer. GE is working on making the parts based on ...

What is astonishing is that these components will be produced using 3D printing techniques. Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing is a process in which powder, made of various materials ...

Last year we brought you news of the 3Doodler, a pen that draws in plastic, allowing you to do some free-hand 3D printing of your own, without the need for a larger base standing unit. We had pretty ...

A cutting-edge 3D-printed antenna has been developed to enable stronger, flexible wireless electronics. It tackles the ...

This image shows a printed micropillar forest submerged in the photopolymer resist prior to development. The forest contains 900 micropillars over a 7 mm × 7 mm area and was printed in less than 90 ...
