Siemens uses 3D printing processes to speed up gas turbine repair.

Olaf Rehme of Siemens Corporate Technology also uses one of the super-hard special steels that can withstand extreme conditions for his own personal project: printing Christmas trees.
He takes his print data from the website grabcad.com.
