MELBOURNE, Feb. 26 (UPI) — Researchers have 3-D printed everything from animal prosthetics and human teeth to whole cars, but now a university in Australia has tackled printing two jet engines.

A group of researchers at Melbourne’s Monash University, in conjunction with Deakin University and Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), used a large 3-D printer to manufacture the two engines.

I bought a Lulzbot Taz 4 back in late November. Wish I had waited until now to get the Taz 5 or the Mini that came out for sale not long after.

They print in metal.

These aren’t the cheapish commercial 3D printers.

GE has been doing a lot with 3D printed parts and this is a video of their mini test engine that was printed. GE 3d printed mini test engine
