            For anyone with dodgy knees this might be a welcome bit of engineering.

                Siemens printed turbine blade video. They do not have the life of the current blades but it will allow rapid development compared with the 2 years it takes at present to prototype and test new designs.

                  Update June 2017

                  Siemens has won the award in the category “3D Printing application of the year” for the world´s first successfully tested 3D printed gas turbine blades manufactured with Additive Manufacturing (AM).

                  Earlier this year, Siemens announced a breakthrough in 3D printing – an international project team with contributions from Siemens engineers in Lincoln, Finspång and Berlin, together with experts from Materials Solutions in Worcester, successfully finished
                  performance testing under full-load conditions of the first gas turbine blades ever to be produced using Additive Manufacturing.

                  Readers of ’3Dprintingindustry.com’, a leading online news source in the industry, voted this achievement in one of the most challenging areas of Additive Manufacturing to be the best 3D printing application of the year.
