It is known that 3D printing makes manufacturing a lot easier and more precise than traditional manufacturing methods such as molding or machining. Some printers can 3D print using metals and alloys, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

3D prints aren’t typically known for their heat resistance. However, [Integza] noted that using the right techniques, it was possible to 3D print parts that could handle steam heat without failing.

Ever since 3D printing broke into the mainstream, it's become possible not only to download and make reproductions of small parts for your car (hopefully nothing crucial that will encounter a lot of ...
