Podcast: Wind Energy Looks to Additive Manufacturing
GE Renewable Energy’s Matteo Bellucci talks about the impact additive manufacturing is having on the development of wind energy systems.
Additive manufacturing is starting to make inroads into the fabrication of wind turbines as well their towers. 3D printing of turbine blades as well as their concrete towers is expected to lower costs and allow them to rise over their present heights of 80 meters to 100 meters. GE Renewable Energy’s Matteo Bellucci talks about the impact additive manufacturing is having on the development of wind energy systems.
