And that’s why it’s all the more impressive that someone on the RC Groups forum has used a 3D printer to make a fully-functional scale model of a Boeing 787’s GE-built turbofan jet engine.

Metal 3D printing is a really complex procedure using lasers and metal powder, ... Here's a 3D Printed Jet Engine Model That Works. Published: 29 Apr 2016, 00:30 UTC • By: ...

Here’s the good news: General Electric has created a wonderful 3D model of a jet engine that anyone—even those lacking an aerospace engineering degree—can build themselves, complete with ...

He’s designed a rather awesome jet engine in 3D Software, and printed it on his UP Plus printer. The engine itself is a cutaway model of a high-bypass turbofan engine. While we’re not sure ...

Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can… ...

Last year, the company released plans for 3D-printing your own mini jet engine. Unlike the latest engine, the little plastic model cranks by hand and will get nowhere close to 33,000rpm.

This 3D-printed mini jet engine can roar up to 33,000 RPM Design. Design. ... “You get speed because there’s less need for tooling and you go right from a model or idea to making a part.

Building a jet engine just takes an Internet connection and a 3D printer. It may not exactly let you fly, but the plans released this week by GE on Thingiverse really do let you create a jet ...

Last year the press way-overhyped the "3d printed car" which was in reality just a 3d printed auto body over a conventional electric car. With this tech, the car could be truly made with a 3d printer!

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 ...
