Posted by Soulskill on from the come-fly-the-3d-printed-skies dept.

Zothecula writes: Working with colleagues from Deakin University and CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization), researchers from Australia's Monash University have created the world's first 3D-printed jet engine. While they were at it, they created the world's second one, too. One of them is currently on display at the International Air Show in Avalon, Australia, while the other can be seen at the headquarters of French aerospace company Microturbo, in Toulouse.

    My orgasm shall be seen from Andromeda. Millions of years hence, my jizz, travelling at the speed of light, will be a reminder of the Great 3D Printing Revolution. Never again shall a Luddite operate a factory, or melt metal ore, NAY! LUDDITE! We shall enter the GLORIOUS GAME CHANGING POST-SCARCITY ERA!!!
