And that’s why it’s all the more impressive that someone on the RC Groups forum has used a 3D printer to make a fully-functional scale model of a Boeing 787’s GE-built turbofan jet engine.

But that's half of what the jet engine does, and if it were attached to a model aircraft, this thrust would be enough to taxi it down the runway. If you still think 3D printers are stupid and don ...

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 t… ...

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… ...

Last year, the company released plans for 3D-printing your own mini jet engine. Unlike the latest engine, the little plastic model cranks by hand and will get nowhere close to 33,000rpm.

The test’s importance is rooted in its manufacturing process. AECC reported this is China’s first flight-validated turbojet ...

The engine in question is actually a 3D-printed model, designed by GE. Although its parts move in the same way as a real jet engine, it's scaled down, simplified, made of 3D printer material, and ...

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 ...

It's one thing to 3D-print a jet engine, but it's another to fuel it up and push the start button. ... The video below discusses the 3D-printed model engine. Source: GE Reports. 5972.
