[Citia Cards] PyeongChang 2018 and GE

2018년 2월 22일 0

GE, a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic Games, is supporting the successful operation of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.

As a Worldwide Partner and a provider of necessary infrastructures in power and healthcare, GE’s Energy Monitoring System (EMS), comprehensive power distribution system, and medical technology is the backbone of infrastructure at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.

In a 125,000 sq. foot building outside of Pittsburgh, PA, you’ll find a group of dedicated GE employees working on the future of manufacturing. The @GEAdditive Customer Experience Center is chock-full of cutting-edge machines—like Electron Beam Melting (EBM) printers—that build parts up from metal alloy powder. Bryan Bossong, Jessica Gonzalez, and Ed (G) Rowley (first photo) are part of the team responsible for managing parts from computer design to machine delivery. These new lean processes allow us to create complex parts faster and with less waste. Efficiency FTW. #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #manufacturing : @ilitchpeters
BIG NEWS: The world’s largest wind turbine blade has made its first trip out of the @lmwindpower factory in Cherbourg, France. Final preparations are underway for the 107-meter blade to ship for testing. Eventually, three blades of its kind will make their way as part of @gerenewableenergy ’s Haliade-X 12 MW—an offshore turbine that'll create a competitive source of clean and renewable energy. #renewableenergy #offshorewind #windturbine #engineering #greenenergy
Immediately after we 3D print a part, it isn't quite ready for jet engines or gas turbines. It undergoes heat treatment in a chamber like this one at our @geadditive Customer Experience Center in Pittsburgh, PA to help minimize internal stresses.
@geadditive can help you make just about anything. This year, they’re making waves at the #MetGala . When @zacposen imagined this one-of-a-kind collection, he sought their design advice to help make it a reality. @protolabs , one of our manufacturing partners, then printed this breathtaking polymer dress consisting of 21 petals. Just more proof that if you can dream it up, GE Additive has the expertise to make it real. #ZPlovesTech #AdditiveManufacturing
In honor of #EarthDay , we present to you the largest wind turbine blade ever produced. Seen here in the @LMWindPower factory in Cherbourg, France, the 107 meter-long blade will eventually affix to the Haliade-X 12MW offshore wind turbine—the largest and most powerful in the world. Just one Haliade-X is capable of powering the equivalent of 16,000 European homes. What’s next? Putting the blade through rigorous testing to demonstrate its ability to withstand more than 20 years of spinning offshore. After that, well, we need to find a truck big enough to ship it. #renewables #windpower #EarthDay2019 #windturbine #engineering #greenenergy
