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 ...

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 ...

We love to highlight great engineering student projects at Hackaday. We also love environment-sensing microcontrollers, 3D printing, and jet engines. The X-Plorer 1 by JetX Engineering checks all the ...

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 ...

When it comes to 3D printing parts for aircraft and other heavy machinery, engineers have barely scratched the surface. Using a technique called direct metal laser melting, engineers at GE Aviation ...

Thanks to the wonders of 3D printing, you can now have a 3D printed a jet engine of your very own. Unlike jet engines we’ve seen before, this one comes with no chance of the operator getting burned to ...

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 ...

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 jet ...

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, ...

It might not be enough to power a real jet, but this mini engine could certainly be the first step to a new method of manufacturing full-size ones. A team of engineers at GE have not only successfully ...
