Totaro & Associates CEO Philippe Totaro believes that wind turbines, printed on printers, will become reality within two years, leads his opinion to the resource 3ders.org.

The penetration of 3D printing into wind energy is inevitable, especially against the background of its rapid development today, says Totaro. His company is engaged in market research and provides consulting services in the field of renewable energy. The company believes that what looks like science fiction today, in two years can get a production implementation.

3D printing is something that can bring the ideal forms developed by engineers closer to implementation. Today, stamping technologies do not allow the blades to be made in an ideal shape. Because of this they are too noisy, not as effective as in the drawings. 3D printing removes these limitations of traditional technologies, and it also allows the use of new lighter materials, says Totaro.
