The Aviator: How A Young Pilot Became A Top-Flight 3D-Printing Engineer

Maggie Sieger
October 02, 2017
At 15, Josh Mook got a job refueling planes and handling bags at a small airport near his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. He’d work eight hours a day after school, then blow his earnings every Saturday taking flying lessons. “I couldn’t even drive myself there,” Mook recalls. “But I was flying solo.”

When Jessica Hughes moved to Cincinnati in 2016 for a new job as a sixth-grade STEM teacher, she noticed that something was amiss. Along one wall of her classroom sat three 3D printers, which she planned to use to teach her students about computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D printing. The boys in her class quickly took to the machines. “Many of them were in Lego leagues and robotics competitions, and they already had a lot of experience with CAD design and 3D printing,” she says. But these concepts were brand new to the girls.

At first glance, the line of cheerfully colored plastic skulls atop professor Laurent Lantieri’s bookshelf might be out-of-season Halloween decorations. But a closer look reveals something less than cheery: jagged holes, missing jaws and crumpled eye sockets. The skulls represent something very real — injuries that Lantieri has fixed.

As a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, Richard Trimlett knows a few things about the heart. He and his colleagues in the U.K. perform 35,000 heart surgeries every year on average. Trimlett typically begins an open-heart surgery by stabilizing the heart with a suction device. But a minimally invasive procedure called keyhole heart surgery is even more delicate.

June 20, 2017
3D printing is making news at this year’s Paris Air Show. The two largest aircraft builders, Airbus and Boeing, brought here advanced planes powered by LEAP jet engines with 3D-printed fuel nozzles. Those fuel nozzles help make the engines 15 percent more fuel efficient compared with their predecessors made by CFM International, the 50-50 joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines that also developed the LEAP.

GE's 3D-Printed Airplane Engine Will Run This Year

June 19, 2017
The last time engineers designed a civilian turboprop engine from scratch for mass-production, humans had not yet landed on the moon. Unlike jet engines, turboprops typically power small commercial shuttles and personal aircraft, but they still represent a multibillion-dollar market. As a result, a new machine created by a team at GE Aviation is now causing a stir.
