Safran Aircraft Engines embraces additive manufacturing
The picture shown looks like laser technology. Still, the new part is in the low pressure section, an area of the engine that where AvioAero uses EBM. Safran Aircraft Engines is in a 50-50 partnership with another big engine manufacturer. Maybe the partner can share some of their experience with different additive technologies.

Safran Aircraft Engines has adopted a powder-bed additive manufacturing process to make a new part for the CFM56-7B engine.* That part is located in the low-pressure section — the section of the engine we’re responsible for at Safran Aircraft Engines. To learn more about this innovative new process, we spoke to Bruno Durand, SVP Manufacturing & Supply Chain.

What's the future for additive techniques at Safran Aircraft Engines?
Safran is keen to make use of additive manufacturing, so we've got the Group's support for the development of other parts in the future. We've shown today that additive manufacturing isn't just a "test lab" procedure and that we can adapt it to series production for one of our flagship engines. At the same time, we're planning to set up an additive production line for other parts, and we'll be investing in new equipment and training our teams to achieve this ambition.
