Damn them. I wuz gonna do that.

Oh well. Always knew GE or Pratt or Garrett (cough, Honeywell..gak) would do it once DMLS was good enough.

Might point out that this looks like a low performance engine, the compressor has straight radial vanes, turbine is basic and the surfaces are not finished.

Still....it works.

Now everyone can have a jet.

Jets for the masses. What a great thing.

3D printers will revolutionize manufacturing.. Someday people will purchase the templates and output their products from home. Probably end millions of jobs, too. Nonetheless, FORWARD WE GO!

This is a good use for 3D printing. Very complicated designs that traditionally have to be made from hundreds of parts can be made more cost effectively using additive manufacturing.

The rockets on the Dragon crew spacecraft are also 3D printed:
