FDM CUTS TIME TO PROTOTYPE JET ENGINE FROM 1 YEAR TO 6 WEEKS
Unveiling a groundbreaking leap in aerospace technology, this case study takes you on a captivating journey with the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) in Bangalore, India. Their flagship Kaveri jet engine, a cornerstone for the multi-role Tejas fighter aircraft, represents a remarkable feat in engineering and design. At the heart of this success is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, which dramatically reduced the prototype development time for this complex engine from a year to just six weeks. This narrative not only explores the innovative use of FDM in creating over 2500 engine components but also highlights the significant cost and time efficiencies achieved. Delve into this inspiring tale of technological advancement, where the synergy of FDM and aerospace ingenuity prepares for flight in ways previously unimaginable.
