How 3D printing is revolutionizing aviation industry - NASA , Military and Commercial Aircrafts

The aviation industry has embraced 3D printing (additive manufacturing) to produce various aircraft components. Here are some examples:

1. *Airbus A350 XWB*: Airbus has used 3D printing to produce over 1,000 aircraft parts, including:
- Cabin brackets
- Crew seat components
- Engine pylon components
- Wing components (e.g., rib feet, spar caps)
2. *Boeing 787 Dreamliner*: Boeing has 3D printed:
- Aircraft cabin components (e.g., vents, ducts)
- Engine components (e.g., fuel nozzles, heat exchangers)
- Wing components (e.g., trailing edge panels)
3. *General Electric (GE) Aviation*: GE has developed 3D printed:
- Jet engine fuel nozzles (e.g., for the LEAP-1A engine)
- Turbine blades
- Engine components (e.g., heat exchangers, compressor blades)
4. *Rolls-Royce*: Rolls-Royce has 3D printed:
- Trent XWB engine components (e.g., compressor blades, turbine blades)
- Engine components for the EJ200 Eurofighter engine
5. *Other examples*:
- NASA has 3D printed aircraft components, such as a turbopump for the RS-25 rocket engine.
- The US Air Force has 3D printed components for the F-22 Raptor, including a titanium engine component.
