GE To Build 'Atlas' Additive Manufacturing Machine
Tailored for the aerospace industry, the machine will have a one cubic meter “build envelope”

GE Additive announced plans this week at the Paris Air Show to build the world’s largest laser-powder additive manufacturing (AM) machine. Tailored for the aerospace industry, the machine will have a “build envelope” of one cubic meter, suitable for making jet engine structural components and parts for single-aisle aircraft. It will also be “applicable for manufacturers in the automotive, power and oil-and-gas industries,” said Mohammad Ehteshami, v-p and general manager of GE Additive.
