GE AViation
GE Aviation and GE Additive engineers have switched four existing parts from castings to metal 3D printing—and see potential for hundreds more
Take to the skies with metal additive solutions
Additive manufacturing is disrupting the aerospace industry and accelerating the way parts are designed and manufactured. AM out-rivals traditional manufacturing because it allows production of lighter, more-durable and more-efficient designs for the aerospace industry.
AM benefits for aerospace
Improved part performance
Leverage GE’s technical design and material parameters expertise and design for part performance, rather than for the manufacturing process. It has been shown that additive components and systems can outperform their traditional predecessors with respect to material properties and performance-oriented designs that are less restricted by manufacturing constraints.
Simplified supply chains
Produce low-volume replacement parts in-house, streamlining the supply chain and reducing the time it takes to acquire spare parts for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).
Return on investment
Uncover all the opportunities for ROI that go beyond part cost and consolidation.
