CCTS Coimbatore involving a total of 38 parts.
The functionality was checked with water to see
how much water was consumed.

Industry News
Worlds first 3D Printed jet engine created
Australian researchers unveiled the worlds first 3D-printed jet engine, a
manufacturing breakthrough that could lead to cheaper, lighter and
more fuel-efficient jets. Engineers at Monash University and its
commercial arm are making top-secret prototypes for Boeing Co, Airbus
Group NV, Raytheon Co and Safran SA in a development that could be
the savior of Australias struggling manufacturing sector.
This will allow aerospace companies to compress their development cycles
because we are making these prototype engines three or four times faster
than normal, said Simon Marriott, chief executive of Amaero Engineering,
the private company set up by Monash to commercialize the

product.
