It's my personal experience that the world has become obsessed with 3D printing. If you want to build things, casting, milling and stamping are just as important. But I wouldn't go as far as to say ...

We love to highlight great engineering student projects at Hackaday. We also love environment-sensing microcontrollers, 3D printing, and jet engines. The X-Plorer 1 by JetX Engineering checks all the ...

Given the challenges with precision, building functional machines with a household 3D printer isn’t easy. And that’s why it’s all the more impressive that someone on the RC Groups forum has used a 3D ...

GE creates a little-engine-that-could using an advanced metal 3D-printing technique and then put it through testing like a full-size engine. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech ...

General Electric this week revealed that it has completed a multi-year project to print a working jet engine. The engine, small enough to fit in a backpack, was built by a team of technicians, ...

Is it real? Well, yes and no. “While it’s not to scale, this 1.5 inch long model was made entirely from direct metal laser melting and required no assembly,” explains GE in another tweet. Does it work ...

GE just 3D printed a jet engine—complete and functioning. It’s a pretty cool trick. The engine, about the size of a football, is a much-simplified version of something you might see on a commercial ...

Curious about just how far they could take the company’s additive manufacturing technology, engineers at GE Aviation’s Additive Development Center in Cincinnati successfully created a simple jet ...

It might not be enough to power a real jet, but this mini engine could certainly be the first step to a new method of manufacturing full-size ones. A team of engineers at GE have not only successfully ...

There is a saying that goes something on the lines of “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” Although generally a statement to live by, this phrase could at times lead to stagnation and hinder the ...
