GE Aerospace Advanced Technology Munich-led European consortium unveils one of the largest-ever metal 3D-printed aerospace parts and demonstrates significant cost, weight and time savings.

A collaboration between GE Aviation and GE Additive is proving that metal additive manufacturing can go toe-to-toe with conventional castings on price.

Avio Aero, a GE Aviation business, and the Polytechnic of Turin have partnered on an additive technology research lab located within the university's campus in Turin, Italy. Together, Avio Aero and the university will work to optimize existing additive components for jet engines.

Less complexity, costs, waste and noise: additive manufacturing is the industry of the future and its already making history today.
