GE Aerospace is investing 1 billion USD in US sites, with 160 million USD dedicated to expanding metal 3D printing in Ohio and Alabama. This scaleup enables milestones like Rocket Lab’s DART AE, the first fully 3D-printed hypersonic airframe, which cut development from 8 years to under 36 months. Velo3D also validated a 30-day turnaround for flight heat exchangers. AM has transitioned from prototyping to the engine of a high-velocity, distributed aerospace supply chain. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #3DPrinting #GE
