The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers ...

For the last six months, Cody Wilson and his non-profit group Defense Distributed have worked towards a controversial goal: To make as many firearm components as possible into 3D-printable, ...

3D printing is providing some incredible creations as the technology becomes more readily available, and we’re seeing it pop up in the automotive sector like never before. However, one man went to the ...

Whenever we say that somebudy makes an engine from Lego or paper, it's implied that it doesn't use gasoline to run. But in all other regards, it's a working piece of machinery. Well, it doesn't have ...

We've only just begun to see the huge impact 3D-printing technology will have on manufacturing, and the aerospace industry is a prime example. Earlier this year we saw the first example of a ...

Starting from CAD and working through DMLM (direct metal laser melting), engineers at GE Aviation in Evendale, Ohio, 3D-printed a working version of a jet engine. May 14, 2015 Starting from CAD and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most any rocket engine you’d find on a spacecraft – save for solid or hybrid rockets – use an engine system that’s fairly complex. Because of the intense heat, the fuel is circulated around the ...

3D printing is a powerful tool for creating all kinds of stuff, but it has its limits. Hobbyist-focused machines that dispense melted plastic through a nozzle can only make parts that are so strong.

3D Printing has the potential to give heavy-duty engines a new lease on life. Diesel engine maker Cummins Inc. is working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to developing a material to repair ...
