A method of manufacturing a planet carrier of a gearbox comprises manufacturing a plurality of preforms. Each preform comprises a base portion, a first end portion connected to a first end of the base portion, a second end portion connected to a second end of the base portion, a first side portion connected to a first side of the base portion, a second side portion connected to a second side of the base portion and a top portion. The first and second end portions and the first and second side portions are folded relative to the base portion and the top portion is folded and the adjacent edges of the portions of each preform are secured together to form a support structure. A first ring and a second ring are manufactured. The first and second end portions of each support structure are secured to the first and second rings respectively.

A cutting system for removing an excess material along a length of a channel constructed using an additive manufacturing process is disclosed. In various embodiments, the cutting system includes a cutter head; a cutter blade attached to the cutter head; a drive cable configured to rotate the cutter head; and a cutter base attached to the cutter head and having a cutter base outer surface configured to contact an internal surface within the channel to guide the cutter blade against the excess material.

A metal part with a wall thickness less than 5 mm includes a preform made from a flexible composite sheet, a flexible composite sheet segment, and an appended insert including a fastening portion that is sandwiched between a rear end of the preform and the flexible composite sheet segment. The flexible composite sheet segment encloses the fastening portion of the appended insert.

An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This gas turbine engine assembly includes a stationary engine structure. The stationary engine structure includes a diffuser, a combustor, an engine case and a plenum. The combustor is disposed within the plenum. The engine case forms a peripheral boundary of the plenum. A gas path extends sequentially through the diffuser, the plenum and the combustor. A first section of the stationary engine structure is formed as a first monolithic body. The first section includes the diffuser and the combustor. A second section of the stationary structure is formed as a second monolithic body. The second section is configured as or otherwise includes the engine case.

A support housing for use in distributing fuel in a gas turbine engine includes a main body defining an inlet aperture, a plurality of outlet apertures, and a substantially planar mounting surface. A first fuel channel has a wall that defines a first flow space and a support member extends across the first flow space and has a long axis oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the mounting surface.

A turbomachine housing, in particular of a radial turbomachine which transfers technical work to a process fluid or from a process fluid, includes: an opening extending along an axis, for the axial feed-through of a shaft extending along said axis; a contact surface extending along a circumferential direction with respect to the axis, for contact with a housing jacket of the turbomachine housing. A flow line provided as an inflow or outflow of the process fluid is designed as an integral part of the cover.

A method for manufacturing a sintered component includes a step of making a green compact having a relative density of at least 88% by compression-molding a base powder containing a metal powder into a metallic die, a step of machining a groove part having a groove width of 1.0 mm or less in the green compact by processing groove with a cutting tool, and a step of sintering the green compact in which the groove part is formed after the step of forming the groove part.
