Iets om over nat denken:
GE has already made enormous strides in industrial 3D printing by opening a mass additive manufacturing facility to produce the 3D printed fuel nozzles for its advanced LEAP jet engines. Competing with GE, and reinforcing the global industrial 3D printing market, Rolls-Royce has announced that it will flight-test what it claims to be the largest 3D printed aerospace component to ever power an aircraft.
www.inceptionitech.com/2015/05/13/rol...Incorporated into its Trent XWB-97 engine,
the UK aerospace manufacturer and defense contractor has 3D printed a titanium structure that measures 1.5m in diameter and 0.5m-thick. The front bearing housing contains 48 aerofoils and was manufactured using Arcam’s electron beam melting technology, as the result of research performed with University of Sheffield and the UK’s Manufacturing Technology Centre.
Bedenk dan dat de Q20 machine de grootste onderdelen kan printen;
Arcam Q20 is based on the Arcam Q10Arcam Q20
technology platform, with the same EB gun for higher productivity and improved resolution, but with a larger build envelope (Ø350×380 mm).

Waar komt die 150 cm dan vandaan waarin Rolls Royce bouwt?
Letterlijk staat er:

Wetende dat de relatie van Arcam met Airbus en GE sterk is, en niet veel verschilt met die van Rolls Royce.
