General Electric has developed a 3D-printing technology sensors inside jet turbines Bashny.Net

For General Electric Internet things - not only the refrigerator is independently ordering products, but also the sensors, which can transmit data line in extreme environments - for example, in jet engines. It's about a development company объявила in early June.





They use a technology called Direct Write to print with special metallic ink miniature sensors directly on the desired surface. Primarily, these sensors are designed to collect data in extreme conditions: jet engines, gas turbines, and other hot, uncomfortable and hard to reach areas .



They withstand the mechanical load and the temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius. Sensors can help engineers better understand the processes occurring inside the machine, increase the reliability of the engines, the safety of air travel, etc.



Direct Write technology was developed in the 90s, when DARPA - the US Defense Advanced Development Center - look for opportunities to accommodate electronic circuits on flexible surfaces, and is now used in electronics manufacturing antennas for mobile phones.
