Additive Manufacturing
It will develop and demonstrate an integrated additive manufacturing process for novel high-performance blade designs for the future of large rotors
Siemens believes 3D printing, also called Additive Manufacturing, opens up “new attractive prospects” in the manufacture of gas turbines
Siemens has completed its first full load engine tests for the world’s first 3D-printed gas turbine blades in the UK. It claims to have successfully validated multiple 3D printed blades with a conventional blade design at full engine conditions. That means the components were tested at 13,000 revolutions per minute and temperatures beyond 1,250°C. 3D […]
