Steve Salt tackles the question on “Can we make this by AM?” and shows that the developments made by Rolls Royce has made the question somewhat out-dated. The question know is “Why should we make this by AM?” Using the Trent XWB-97 as a case study, the presentation explores how much of the engine can be made through AM. Rolls Royce pushes AM to the limit benefiting not only from the advantages of AM but also facing the challenges of employing it in such way.
