Just a decade ago, the idea of 3D printing metal parts directly from a computer file seemed like science fiction to many people. But the technology is quickly growing up. There are few better examples of its promise than the GE Catalyst, a new advanced turboprop engine GE Aviation started testing in December.

You can fashion almost anything on a 3D printer these days, from the most intricate airplane parts to near-perfect replicas of the human skull. But back in 2007, few had printed an object that could be implanted into someone else’s body.

Added Value: 3D Printing Program Helps Teachers Cultivate Next Generation Of Engineers

Dorothy Pomerantz

Two years ago, Bart Prorok, a professor of materials engineering at Auburn University in Alabama, decided his students needed to learn about additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, if they were going to be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. But buying a commercial metal additive manufacturing machine was out of the question because of the price. Those machines can cost hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars apiece.

GE engineers recently built and tested 30 different prototypes of a complex, football-size jet engine component. Thanks to cutting-edge 3D-printing technology, they were able to reach the perfect design in just 12 weeks. This is remarkable considering it would take several years to iterate on that many designs using traditional casting methods.

Tour De Force: This Slovak Company Is 3D-Printing Bespoke Electric Mountain Bikes

Maggie Sieger
January 05, 2018
Patrik Paul loved riding his bike everywhere growing up in the Slovak capital Bratislava. He dreamed of the perfect mountain bike — one that exactly matched his center of gravity and perfectly gripped the track on curves. But such a bike simply wasn’t within his reach. The costs and technology for that level of customization would make it prohibitively expensive.

Additive genius: How to seed Australia’s 3D-printing-savvy workforce

Natalie Filatoff
Metal 3D printing is forecast by the CSIRO to provide opportunities for Australia at every stage of the manufacturing value chain, from ore to innovative design. At GE 3D printing is known as the  “engineer’s dream”, a “new, unlimited dimension” in manufacturing.
