This chronicle from Elementum 3D describes the success of NASA’s RAMFIRE project which additively manufactured a 36-inch diameter aerospike nozzle with complex integral coolant channels for a more efficient way to propel rockets to outer space. Engineers plan to use this as a proof of concept for future component designs as NASA reimagines rocket engine technology.

The lightweight part was delivered faster and made more easily via electron beam melting (EBM) than a conventionally manufactured alternative could be produced, while also illuminating a way forward for upgrading other existing systems.

Desktop Metal is first company to commercialize titanium for bound metal production of high-strength, lightweight components, opening the door to more accessible additive manufacturing production of high-performance titanium parts.

The Perseverance parts made through additive manufacturing are extreme examples of lightweighting. We have replicas of the 3D printed parts that were sent to Mars.

The new process could enable laser slurry drying of non-oxide ceramics with high refractive indexes

Designed for athletes across all levels of competition, the guards work like removable outsoles, transforming cleats into functional, sneaker-like footwear that athletes can wear anywhere, and are compatible with a wide range of cleat models and sports.

Newly opened Ohio facility is where geometric cells are made and tested to inform the machine learning system that will “know,” without computation, what 3D printed form satisfies a given set of needs.

The collaboration between All Design Lab and Protolabs led to the creation of a 3D printed tennis racket via direct metal laser sintering, called Hìtëkw. This project not only pushed the limits of additive in terms of design capabilities but revealed how important active communication between customer and manufacturer can be for a project’s success.

By expanding its manufacturing service offerings with PA 11, PA 12S and PA-CF materials, Materialise aims to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

The circular economy needs the lightweight, optimized and efficient designs that only 3D printing can provide. More in this video, part of our series on 3D Printing and the Circular Economy.
