Sigma Labs customer and collaborator GE utilizing AM for aerospace MRO activity.

For all those claiming the industry moved on without Sigma Labs, here's proof the largest AM producer in the world is JUST NOW beginning to use AM for repairs at the commercial level.

Ie, every other company will follow suit and if they want to be efficient and ensure their parts, they will need a software like Sigma Labs IPQA, ie customers who use additive industries, dmg Mori, materialize, and many others.

Large market for Sigma Labs continues to grow with Sigma as the leader for IPQA technologies.

GE Aviation Singapore facility repairing engine parts at volume with metal additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is suitable for this application because components wear different during service and thus need a customised repair. By deploying GE Additive Concept Laser M2 machines, the company is typically said to halve the time it usually takes to repair aircraft parts. Already, GE AESS is using metal 3D printing to repair parts in GE Aviation’s CF6 engines – its best-selling commercial engine for wide body aircraft – and plans to roll out the technology for the repair of the CFM56 parts – the best-selling engine in commercial aviation history.

In applying the technology for the repairs of engine components, GE AESS has established an automated process to repair high-pressure compressor blade tips, which run at high speeds, tight tolerances and experience regular erosion that demands continuous repair and replacement. GE AESS believes it is the first MRO facility in the world to implement an approved additive repair for high pressure compressor airfoils.
