3D printing for rocket engines is making a lot of headlines lately. In the last few weeks, we've told you about Aerojet Rocketdyne building and hot-firing a 3D-printed rocket engine and NASA's ...

Automotive manufacturers have embraced 3D printing, but even if you can print something on your own, that doesn't mean it's ...

Each of the new CFM LEAP engines, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, will have 19 3D-printed fuel nozzles in the combustion that’s impossible to be made any other way.

A team of bachelor students in Switzerland has designed a 3D high-speed multi-material metal printer that could change the future of aerospace, propulsion, and e-mobility manufacturing. In only nine ...

3D printing is an incredible tool for prototyping and development, but the properties of the materials can be a limiting factor for functional parts. [Sam Rogers] and colleagues at [AX Technologies] ...

The promise of 3D printing in automotive applications is clear for all to see, but it still takes clever engineering to get the most out of the futuristic process. It likely won’t come as a surprise ...

Rocket engines are great for producing thrust from fire and fury, but they’re also difficult to make. They require high-strength materials that can withstand the high temperatures involved. [Integza], ...

Technology is funny. What seems cutting-edge today will eventually be outdated and replaced by the “next big thing,” or a better version of the now-outdated thing. Vinyl records gave way to ...

A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...
