Manufacturing & Materials Technologies
Featured manufacturing materials technologies
The Manufacturing & Materials organization develops high-performance components and systems to deliver new product breakthroughs and applications for GE businesses and customers. Examples include carbon fiber composite blades and casings for jet engines; rapid prototyping using polymers, metals, and ceramics, and advanced bearings, gears, and other components for wind turbines, locomotives, and compressors.
The organization also develops new manufacturing processes and solutions to help move technologies smoothly from a research environment to the marketplace. The Pilot Development Center in Niskayuna, New York, and the new Advanced Manufacturing and Software Technology Center in Detroit, Michigan, are two key facilities used for this important work.
