What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is any of various processes used to make a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, additive processes are used, in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.
This is a 3D printed jet engine that actually works. It's printed in a Prusa i3 3D printer with ABS Plastic, 0.3mm nozzle 0.1mm layer height.
Jet Engine Specifications:
100mm diameter 18 blades.
24 outlet guide vanes.
34mm diamenter 18 blades internal turbine for cooling the motor.
Thrust reverser, complete system with translating cowl, blocker doors and cascades.
NTM 1400kv 35mm motor
Full throttle run test with a 3S battery. Thrust Reverser test at half throttle.
