Additive manufacturing methods, especially 3-D printing, are quickly evolving to become commonly employed means of both prototyping and production. The opportunities presented by this unique method of manufacturing can include the ability to create complex parts and geometries that aren’t feasible, or even possible, using some traditional machining or fabrication technologies. In this article from MIT Technology Review, a revolutionary new jet fuel nozzle built by GE Aviation using a metal sintering additive process is explored. Achieving successful output using an additive manufacturing process will often combine many specific technical challenges: precision motion control, high-performance I/O systems for controlling processes, and powerful yet straightforward control and visualization of the entire system.
