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 ...

NASA's first attempt at using 3D-printed parts for rocket engines has passed its biggest, and hottest, test yet. The largest 3D-printed rocket part built to date, a rocket engine injector, survived a ...

Aerojet Rocketdyne has won an Air Force contract to use 3D printing technology to develop liquid-propellant rocket engine applications destined for military launchers, the company announced this week.

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 ...

In 2014, eight engineers started a secret project behind the walls of GE Aviation’s headquarters. Their challenge? Build an aircraft engine with 3D printing instead of traditional manufacturing. The ...

With a quick countdown in the middle of the desert, a group of San Diego college students accomplished a milestone – the design, printing and testing of a 3D printed rocket engine. Over the weekend, ...

Working with colleagues from Deakin University and CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation), researchers from Australia's Monash University have created the world's first ...

Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans.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 U.S. Air Force has 3D-printed its first metal part for a jet engine. The replacement part, made for the engine that powers the B-52 Stratofortress bomber, will keep the plane flying until new ...
