How 3D Printing Is Playing and Will Play a Major Role Within Aerospace
Aerospace makes up an approximately $150 billion global industry, and 3D printing doesn't yet account for very much of that -- about 0.002% for now. That share may rise, though, with some forecasts pegging 3D printing to rise to $2 billion of the aerospace parts market within the next decade. Boeing is one of the major aerospace players already using 3D printing technology, and its uses will only continue to grow. We have thoughts on five possible applications for aerospace's use for additive manufacturing in the near future, from Boeing to NASA.

The idea of printing wing and turbine are not ready yet and it might takes few more years to accomplish them. As soon as you get internal cavities or holes inside it's good as thrash. You don't want any stress that hits right to where you have internal cavities, it will just be catastrophic.
Which is why Pratt & Whittney are still cautious about printing turbine blade.
But the use of 3D printing airduct in planes is already going on!

3D printing is creating a revolution in the aerospace and defense review industry. Aerospace industry can benefit from the increased asset uptime, reduced costs, lighter components, more durability, and increased customer satisfaction.
With its good performance in the production of smaller-scale parts in the aerospace industry, the future hints at entire aerospace frames being 3D printed and the emergence of on-site printing. The 3D printed smaller craft and drones, like SoleonAgro is already serving biological pest control in agriculture and reducing the cost of product development.
Printer will print perfect...
