Up-Scaling  (3D Printing Sectioned Volumetric Wind Turbine Blade)

This is a video to illustrate the scalability of a 3D printed volumetric wind turbine. The blade depicted has a radius of about 2 feet and therefore could produce a 4 diameter wind turbine. The 3D printer that this blade was printed on is 220mm W x 220mm D x 250mm H. Therefore, very small in comparison with the blade. A larger industrial sized 3D printer could produce a much larger utility scaled wind turbine blade without too much difficulty and with a relatively low cost per unit when compared with typical fiber and composite blades currently produced.
