Background

After internal discussions, the ETN Global Additive Manufacturing Working Group agreed to launch a new online webinar series. The quarterly episodes of such initiative will cover different aspects of additive manufacturing and its application in turbomachinery.

The objective is to make use of available expertise within the ETN Global community and share the existing achievements and ongoing developments.

Abstract of the webinar

ETN Global is inviting you to the first episode of its webinar series on “Additive Manufacturing”, which will take place on Friday, 20 February 2026 from 14:00 to 15:00 (CET).

Vladimir Navrotsky (AM Chief of Technology, Siemens Energy) will present his Organisation’s development and implementation of new advanced technologies, which aim at driving emissions reduction and performance improvement of the gas turbines.

The presentation will provide insights on the integration of ground-breaking additive manufacturing (AM) technology into the design and manufacturing of gas turbine components. Siemens Energy is already implemented AM technology in the design and manufacturing of combustor components to run gas turbines on green fuels. As an example, the implementation of AM burners in medium-size gas turbines (MTG) with Dry Low Emission (DLE) combustors expands their fuel flexibility and ability to run on hydrogen-rich gases. Today, the SGT-600, -700 and -800 can be offered to run on fuel with up to 75 vol% H2 in the fuel. Integrating AM technology into the design and manufacturing of turbine’s components, such as vanes and blades, leads to substantial improvements in gas turbine efficiency and, as a result, gas turbine fuel consumption and emissions reduction.

The presentation will also outline the infusion of AM technology into the design and manufacturing of hot gas path components, in the turbine vanes of Siemens Energy gas turbines. Improving the efficiency of turbine and turbine components is driven by utilizing new advanced cooling systems and better aerodynamics enabled by the practically unlimited capability of AM design and manufacturing. Successful design, manufacturing and field validation of AM vanes in Siemens Energy SGT-700 gas turbine are presented and discussed in this presentation. The reliable operation of AM components under real field operation conditions has been confirmed by the total accumulated field experience, which already exceeds 1,700,000 operating hours.
