B787 Dreamliner engine tooling
The GE GEnx-1B is the next-generation engine for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, succeeding the CF6-80C2 in GE's wide-body lineup. With composite fan blades, advanced TAPS combustor, and significantly higher bypass ratio, GEnx maintenance procedures differ from earlier GE engines. 145GSE supplies GEnx-1B tooling on a custom-build basis from your supplied drawings — typical lead time 10–16 weeks given the engine's relative recency in the in-service population.

GEnx fan blades are composite, lighter than titanium fan blades but more sensitive to handling damage. Our composite-blade transport racks use foam-isolated cradles and avoid metal-on-composite contact. Inspection fixtures specifically designed for composite-airframe-friendly access are part of our 787-class tooling line.
The Twin Annular Pre-Swirl (TAPS) combustor is unique to GEnx and CFM LEAP-1B/-1C. Combustor liner inspection requires specific port wrenches and borescope access tools different from earlier-generation single-annular combustors. We carry both kit-style inspection sets and individual port tools.
Send drawings, a worn sample, or a part-number list — an engineer reviews every inquiry and replies within 48 hours. Custom GE GEnx-1B tooling is built to drawing on a 8–14 week lead time.
