GE Invests $4.3 Billion Toward New Factories in the US to Build Jet Engine with 3D Printed Parts 3D Printing Processes

The GE9X jet engine that GE Aviation is developing for Boeing’s next-generation wide-body passenger jet, the 777X, is wider than the body of a Boeing 737 and more powerful than America’s first manned space rocket. It’s also a big deal for the company’s business. Although the world’s largest engine isn’t scheduled to enter service until around 2020, the company already has recorded some 700 orders and commitments valued at $28 billion at list price. For the first time, the engine will include a variety of 3D printed parts and the latest composite materials, including the light and heat-resistant space-age materials called ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs).
