GE Aviation's Additive Development Center near Cincinnati has produced a number of firsts but they are now demonstrating a working 3D-printed jet engine for an RC-sized model. The engine turns at 550 rotations per second and is made entirely from metal 3D-printed parts. They used the same EOS M270 3D printer that they use to produce the first and only FAA flight-approved 3D-printed hardware, a T25 pressure and temperature sensor for use in GE90 jumbo jet engines.

    3D print me a casino with blackjack and hookers. And I want those hookers to be made entirely from metal.
