Any way one can predict of which engine this plate is?
Well done to all of you! It's the Vinci engine's injector head. It's entirely manufactured by 3-D printing, which means the time required to make it is now hours instead of months. Do you know how many parts make up this same component for the Vulcain 2 engine?
