It's no secret GE Aviation is building a plant that will use 3D printing to mass-produce metal parts for its LEAP (Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion) Turbofan jet engine. The aircraft engine leader has ...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian researchers unveiled the world's first 3D-printed jet engine on Thursday, a manufacturing breakthrough that could lead to cheaper, lighter and more fuel-efficient jets.

These are cheaper and faster to build compared to engines built using traditional methods.

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 ...
