The AM fuel nozzle will be used in GE's LEAP engine, with every engine requiring 19 fuel nozzles. Once manufacturing begins, GE will ramp up production quickly, starting with 1000 fuel nozzles produced annually, to more than 40,000 by 2020. GE also reported that it is developing 3D-...
The GE9X hasmore than 300 additively-manufactured parts.Beyond the GE9X, GE Aviation (3) and its joint venture CFM* (1) currently have four other 3D-printed parts certified by the FAA. These parts are the T25 sensor for the GE90-94B, the CFM LEAP fuel nozzle tip, the GEnx-2B power...
GE Aviation produces sophisticated machined parts and fuel nozzles using additive manufacturing at a plant in Auburn. GE Aviation started making additively-produced fuel nozzle tips for the LEAP engine, commercial aviation’s best-selling engine with fuel efficiency up to 15 percent better than the ...
-Auburn Additive manufacturing:GE’s new Auburn, Alabama, facility focused on large-scale additive manufacturing with rows of additive machines are installed to produce thousands of fuel nozzle injectors for the LEAP engine each year. -Lafayette engine assembly:Opened in 2016, the new engine assembly...
new 300,000 square-foot facility in Auburn, AL. "Fuel nozzles are an intricate and highly sophisticated engine component that are key to delivering industry-leading fuel efficiency and lower emissions for next-generation jetengines," said the company. The nozzles will be on the LEAP jet ...
Each LEAP engine will contain fuel nozzles made using the 3-D process and future engines will have more parts that are additively manufactured. Altogether, GE Aviation, which is headquartered in Evendale in suburban Cincinnati, and joint ventures employ more than 9,000 people in Southwest Ohio....
