What's Next For GE In 2017: Changing The Game With A Digital Industrial Strategy

Timothy Cheng
December 30, 2016
AS: Back then I didn’t have that many friends who were interested in computers. It was like a big mystery to them. My son Steven came to visit once, and I showed him the factory and the engineering floor. I tried to get him interested in engineering, but his heart was in movies. At first I was disappointed, but then I saw how good he was in moviemaking.

Melting In Reverse: Magical 3D Printing Process Gets Big Industry Boost

October 07, 2016
Twenty-five years ago, director James Cameron conjured up a liquid metal robot that could assume any form in seconds. But “Terminator 2” was just a movie. The M1 printer, on the other hand, is making that fantastical vision of near instantaneous, on-demand creation a reality.
Developed by Silicon Valley startup Carbon, M1 works by plunging a flat build plate into a liquid bath of resin. An ultraviolet LED projector below then flashes a two-dimensional image—a single layer of a 3D object—through the bath’s translucent container bottom and onto the plate.

From Assembly Line To Digital Thread: The Factory Of The Future Is Here, And It’s Here To Stay

Philippe Cochet Svp Chief Productivity Officer GE
October 07, 2016
Today, on National Manufacturing Day, we celebrate the evolution of manufacturing, its impact on our economy and on the everyday lives of our citizens. From the Industrial Revolution to the age of the assembly line, and now in the emergence of today’s digital and 3D printing technologies, the manufacturing industry has always been an incubator for ingenuity.

Consider it a jet engine for the Oompa-Loompas. GE engineers working on the future of aircraft manufacturing recently showed off some of their capabilities. They made a simple 3D-printed mini jet engine that roared at 33,000 rotations per minute (see video above).

How Additive Technologies Are Paving A Path To A Full-Scale Manufacturing Revolution

Christine Furstoss GE
July 20, 2016

GE's Christine Furtoss explains how additive technologies today are making breakthroughs, from surgical procedures to jet engine parts. In the future, the use of 3-D models in additive manufacturing will go beyond the realm of our imagination.

Imagine the day when we can “Print-On-Demand” real, functional parts for complex machines any time, any place around the world. In other words, imagine that printing a critical part for an engine whenever you want, wherever you want, becomes as simple as printing on a sheet of paper in your inkjet printer.

How to print blood vessels. And apartment buildings

A wedding ring holding a piece of moon rock. Hydroponic garden structures tailored to any shape desired. Jet engine fuel nozzles. An Aston Martin template: These are but a few examples on the growing roster of 3D-printed structures that steadily made tech headlines over the past 18 months.

Bruce Katz and Mark Muro: What States Need to Do to Grow Their Advanced Industries

Bruce Katz Brookings Institution
Mark Muro Brookings
December 22, 2014
Voters said unequivocally in this year’s midterm elections that economic growth and quality jobs are their top concerns. The divided federal government that resulted from those elections seems likely to take incremental but not transformative steps on critical economic issues. In other words, less gridlock but little impact.

On a recent trip to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the aerospace organization provided some insight to the inner-workings of spacecraft manufacturing. At the Marshall Space Flight Center, they specialize in what can best be described as, the guts of a rocket.
