Safran installs Lithoz 3-D printers for turbine blade production

Lithoz, a frontrunner in ultra-precise ceramic 3-D printing, has installed three CeraFab System S65 printers at Safran Aircraft Engines in Gennevilliers, near Paris. The investment will allow Safran to begin serial production of complex ceramic casting cores at industrial scale. These components are essential for the cooling of next-generation turbine blades. The project builds on several years of collaboration between the two companies. Safran …
