Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...
Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans. Still, even the most basic early designs were ...
The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...
China has conducted a successful maiden flight of a miniature turbojet engine manufactured entirely with 3D printing, a development that explores new methods for tackling difficulties in aerospace ...
The first time Pratt & Whitney’s GatorWorks attempted to 3D-print a combustor for the miniature TJ-150 jet engine, the results were anything but perfect. “Actually, it was terrible”, says Dave Stagney ...
Beehive Industries, a company that 3D prints jet engines for unmanned military vehicles, will ramp up production at its Knoxville facility with the help of a new $12.4 million contract sponsored by ...
We've only just begun to see the huge impact 3D-printing technology will have on manufacturing, and the aerospace industry is a prime example. Earlier this year we saw the first example of a ...
Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian researchers unveiled the world's first 3D-printed jet engine on Thursday, a manufacturing breakthrough that could lead to cheaper, lighter and more fuel-efficient jets.
LAKELAND – A grant awarded to a Florida Polytechnic University professor could mean more and better jet and rocket parts could be 3D-printed in the future. Dr. Sanna Siddiqui, assistant professor of ...
