3D Printing Provides Part for Pratt & Whitney Engine
Three companies collaborated to create a 3D-printed aero engine part for a Pratt & Whitney turbine engine.

Pratt & Whitney and ST Engineering’s Land Systems division and Component Aerospace Singapore have developed a 3D-printed fuel system component for a Pratt turbine aero engine. The metal-printed component replaces one that requires time-consuming conventional forging and casting, and it represents “a first in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of commercial engines,” according to the companies.
