Pratt and Whitney has announced it is using additive manufacturing to accelerate the repair of critical GTF engine components.
The US aerospace company says the process, which was developed at its North American Technology Accelerator in Florida in collaboration with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology and the RTX Research Center, is expected to save 60% on process time and recover $100 million worth of parts through 3D printing-enabled repairs within its MRO process over the next five years.
