This arrangement leads to a few complicated welding and machining processes, but surprisingly these obstacles can be overcome by simply printing a rocket engine on a 3D printer. The current engine ...

When you’re building something as complex as a rocket engine, the true advantage of 3D printing is the ability to not only rapidly iterate your design, but to produce objects with internal ...

So you probably shouldn’t be surprised to learn that 3D printing is also making waves in rocket science. NASA has developed a revolutionary new rocket engine that’s 20-30% more efficient than ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

Engineers at MIT have created a fully 3D-printed engine that could change the way small satellites move in space. This new ...

An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...

Rocket company Skyrora has started testing a new 3D-printed engine as it works towards its first commercial orbital launch. The firm said it was carrying out "full duration" tests on an updated ...

Firehawk’s rocket engines are powered by their patented 3D printed rocket fuel. By 3D printing their fuel Firehawk can build rocket engines for space and defense applications that are lower cost ...

Precise light field control is critical for 3D printing light engines to reduce errors and improve the quality and consistency of printed products. At TCT Japan, Goeroptics introduced a ...
