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.

One-meter-in-diameter part manufactured in nickel alloy 718 on a GE Additive system is one of largest aerospace parts additively manufactured using the Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) process.
Shift from conventional casting to AM reduces cost and weight by 30%.
Consolidation combines over 150 parts into one.
Lead time was reduced from more than nine months to two and a half months.
