The brief

Step 1 of 5 · 22/09/2026

Engine: The LEAP engine, enclosed, without the internal blade stages
Size: About 20 cm long
Quantity: Three models, each with a gift box
Deadline: Their conference on 02/11/2026

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we made three LEAP engine scale models for Shannon Engine Support. They needed matching display models, in their own gift boxes, for a conference on 02/11/2026.

Design and prototyping

Step 2 of 5 · 16/10/2026

We modelled the engine in 3D from public LEAP references and photos of the client's own engine model. The fan turns, clear acrylic supports hold the engine, and a metal plate carries the SES logo.

Production

Step 3 of 5 · 19/10/2026

The engine casing was printed in ABS-like resin by SLA, then primed and painted metallic silver. We printed the fan, the nose and the display base in PLA by FDM, and painted the white spiral on each nose.

Build and assembly

Step 4 of 5

Each fan was fitted so it turns by hand. Two clear acrylic supports hold every engine on its black base, with the SES logo plate on the front.

The final build

Step 5 of 5 · 30/10/2026

All three models were finished on 30/10/2026, ahead of Shannon Engine Support's conference on 02/11/2026: metallic silver engines on black bases, with fans that turn by hand.
