This comprehensive report delves into the intricate process of conceptualizing, designing, fabricating, and rigorously testing a groundbreaking 3D-printed jet engine. The innovative engine, a single-stage turbojet, encompasses a meticulously crafted array of vital components including a high-efficiency compressor, a precisely engineered combustor, a robust turbine, and an optimized exhaust nozzle. Noteworthy is the axial flow design of the compressor and turbine, enhancing the engine's performance, while the annular configuration of the combustion chamber ensures efficient combustion processes. The design phase was meticulously executed using design (CAD) software, enabling the creation of intricate and precise models of each component with meticulous attention to detail. These CAD models served as the blueprint for the additive manufacturing process, where state-of-the-art 3D printing technology was employed to transform virtual designs into tangible components. The utilization of PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament as the printing material further underscored the commitment to precision and quality in the fabrication process. The successful completion of this ambitious project not only represents a significant milestone in jet engine technology but also underscores the transformative potential of additive manufacturing techniques in revolutionizing the aerospace industry, paving the way for future advancements and innovations in propulsion systems.
