INTRODUCTION
3D printing of aircraft jet engines.High-bypass turbofan aircraft engines from the series first saw use in 1995. To help power the following generation of wide-body aircraft, including the, the from Aviation will now feature3D-printed fuel nozzles.
In order to create various spare parts for engine components, which are frequently damaged and need to be replaced during maintenance, 3D printing technology is frequently employed in aeroplane maintenance.
The primary engine components’ manufacture time has been cut in half by the new technology, and their production costs have decreased by more than two times. The successful bench testing of tiny gas turbine aeroplane engines manufactured with 3D printing.
GLOBAL 3D PRINTING AIRCRAFT ENGINE MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
Global 3D printing aircraft engine market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
The beginning of a demonstrator project to test-build a new open-bladed jet engine has been announced by aerospace manufacturers GE Aviation and Safran. The project will use metal 3D printed parts.
The announcement comes as the firms announce a ten-year extension of their joint venture, CFM International, to 2050. The engine, known as RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines), was created to replace the LEAP variant, which is now used on some Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
It’s interesting to note that the new design has an open rotor, making the fan blades visible. In comparison to its predecessors, CFM says that RISE will be able to cut fuel consumption and emissions by up to 20% when it is commercially released in the middle of the 2030s.
It should come as no surprise that the RISE model will include 3D printed components since it is the LEAP engine’s replacement. After entering service in 2016, LEAP caused a stir in the aviation industry by establishing a new standard for fuel efficiency, which was made possible in part by GE’s remarkable 3D printed fuel nozzle.
The LEAP nozzle had a complicated shape that pre-mixed the jet fuel before it was injected into the combustion chamber, in addition to being 25% lighter and five times more resilient than a counterpart made in the normal manner.
There were 19 of these cutting-edge fuel nozzles within each LEAP engine. Since then, GE has produced thousands of the component using high-volume 3D printing, which represents a significant advancement for the aerospace industry.
