Made You Look: GE Employee’s 3D-Printing Hobby Helps Company Explain Most Advanced Jet Engine Concepts

Nick Hurm
July 18, 2022

Alex Hills developed a passion for 3D printing like most hobbyists: He bought a printer and began “tinkering around” with some simple print builds.

A decade ago, Hills, who works as a test hardware engineer at GE Aviation, printed his first generic jet engine design from plans he found online. “It was a real simple model that spun with some bearings,” he says. “I thought it was cool and printed another one that I put on my desk.”

June 29, 2022

The power industry around the world is going through a fundamental transition to renewable energy. This shift requires a lot of innovation, and few companies are better equipped to help than GE. Just look inside a cavernous warehouse near Rochester, New York. The revolution happening there is not being televised yet. It’s being printed.

In 2020, GE made a commitment to become carbon-neutral in its own operations by 2030, and the following year the company announced that it is going even further, reaching net zero by 2050 — including the Scope 3 emissions that result from the use of sold products. As the company unveiled its 2021 Sustainability Report this week, we looked back at some of this year’s biggest developments, which include offshore wind, hydrogen fuel, carbon capture and sequestration, small modular nuclear reactors, pumped hydro and other technologies.

Fit To Print: GE Is Looking At 3D-Printing Wind Turbine Towers From Concrete For More Efficient Wind Farms

Tomas Kellner
April 19, 2022

Driving across the eastern end of New York State, you can’t fail to notice the clusters of wind turbines that have popped up over the past decade on undulating fields and remote ridges. As in other parts of the world, these wind farms are a manifestation of America’s growing embrace of renewable energy.

Close Call: Fighting For His Life Against COVID, Retired GE Engineer Found Comfort In A CT He Helped Design

The day in late 2020 Bob Senzig thought would be his last is still a haze and probably always will be. He remembers a doctor at a hospital in the resort town of Los Cabos, Mexico, talking on the phone with the crew of a medical evacuation jet coming to take him back home, to an emergency room at a U.S. hospital. But to get on board, he was told, the 66-year-old GE retiree would have to be intubated, a procedure that would require him to be unconscious. Make your phone calls quickly, the doctor told him.

Breaking The Mold: 3D Printing Could Help The Wind Industry Forge A New Path

Daniel Terdiman

For hundreds of years, the art of casting industrial components has hardly changed: Design an object, create a model, use the model to build a mold and then cast your final product by pouring molten metal into the cavity formed by the model. The process is the same at foundries all across the world. But when the people at one of those foundries encountered additive manufacturing — better known as 3D printing — they quickly realized how radically the approach could disrupt the way they make things.
