SECONDARY STRUCTURES FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINES AND PROCESSES THEREFOR

摘要

Processes for fabricating secondary structures of gas turbine engines from polymer-based materials, and secondary structures formed thereby. The processes entail performing an additive manufacturing technique to produce a secondary structure of a gas turbine engine. The additive manufacturing technique directly produces the secondary structure from a polymer-based material to have a complex three-dimensional shape characterized by portions that lie in different planes.
