The research will enable GE to 3D print the bottom portion of the wind turbine towers on-site at wind farms. The research being conducted in the Bergen (NY, USA) facility is supported in part by a grant from the US Department of Energy. A team of 20 people will continue to work on optimising the 3D printing technology with first applications in the field anticipated within the next five years.
