Nicole Y. Lamb-Hale: How to Protect Your 3D-Printed Assets

Nicole Y Lamb Hale Albright Stonebridge Group
November 16, 2015

The gains from the global 3D printing revolution come with tremendous risk of IP theft — if not carefully managed.

 

The 3D printing industry is expanding at a rapid pace. Global revenue from additive manufacturing, which consists of printing layer upon layer of a material to make an object out of a digital file, is expected to top $21 billion by 2020 — a seven-fold increase from 2013.

“The Biggest Win:” New Engine Set to Lift GE’s Turboprop Business to New Heights

November 16, 2015
Textron Aviation, the world’s largest maker of business propeller planes like Beechcraft Bonanza, Baron and King Air, said today it would use a brand new advanced turboprop engine developed by GE to power its latest single-engine turboprop plane. The engine burns 20 percent less fuel and produces 10 percent more power, compared to engines in its class.

3D Printing the Soul and Other Ideas From the Final Frontier — Q&A with Adam Steltzner of NASA

Adam Steltzner Fellow At The Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory
October 02, 2015

The Industrial Internet faces perhaps it’s biggest challenge in space — though also some of the greatest opportunities for breakthroughs in machine-to-machine communication and Big Data analytics.

The explosion of data being emitted from everything from hospital monitors to deep-sea oil wells to jet engines is demanding increasingly robust Big Data analytical tools. But perhaps the greatest test for collecting and analyzing data is at the “final frontier,” with the challenges of beaming back information and images from space expeditions.

Atomic Bonding from a Bottle? These Scientists Use Supersonic Spray to Repair Turbines

August 11, 2015
Two years ago, scientists at the GE Global Research labs (GRC) in upstate New York found a futuristic way to fix things: blowing metal powder, at four times the speed of sound, onto parts in need of service. “The tiny bits of material fly so fast then they essentially fuse together when they hit the target,” says Gregorio Dimagli, materials scientist from Avio Aero. “Unlike welding, you don’t need to apply heat to make them stick. The bond happens on the atomic level. That’s why we are so excited.”

GE ASEAN Takes on Cheryl’s Birthday

April 16, 2015
If you’ve not heard of Albert and Bernard’s pursuit of Cheryl’s birth date by now, awaken from your slumber!
This week, a math question posed to 14-year old Singaporean students hit the internet by storm, baffling thousands of users in the process.

The GE Reports team decided to pose this brain teaser to some of the bright young minds at General Electric ASEAN to see if they could beat Albert and Bernard to the punch.

Watch here: “GE takes on Cheryl’s birthday!”

The FAA Cleared the First 3D Printed Part to Fly in a Commercial Jet Engine from GE

April 14, 2015
The fist-sized piece of silver metal that houses the compressor inlet temperature sensor inside a jet engine is a part that’s bit obscure even for many aviation aficionados. Starting now, however, it’s becoming a symbol of one of the biggest changes sweeping jet engine design.
The housing for the sensor, known as T25, recently became the first 3D-printed part certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly inside GE commercial jet engines.

Capturing the World in 3D — Q&A with Alban Denoyel of Sketchfab

Alban Denoyel Sketchfab
April 07, 2015

Before 3D printing can revolutionize manufacturing, innovators like Sketchfab are developing parts of the ecosystem to make that happen.

 

3D printing holds the promise of democratizing manufacturing — disrupting how goods are made and brought to market. But even the technology’s most enthusiastic backers say the third industrial revolution will take years to fully arrive.
