NASA’s latest generation of 3D printed rocket engines is not just a materials experiment, it is a direct assault on the cost ...

Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

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 ...

NASA's Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project test-fired a 3D-printed engine ...

Last we checked on NASA’s 3D-printing front, astronauts could soon be eating 3D-printed pizza. Now, 3D printing is bringing NASA one step closer to a 3D-printed spacecraft. Last week, NASA tested the ...

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Tech. Sgt. Tylar Cravens believes he has an idea that could change the way the Air Force trains aircraft maintainers, and he’ll soon pitch it to top leaders at the Pentagon.

Beehive Industries, a company that 3D prints jet engines for unmanned military vehicles, will ramp up production at its Knoxville facility with the help of a new $12.4 million contract sponsored by ...

Flames stream from New Frontier Aerospace’s Mjölnir rocket engine during a hot-fire test. (NFA Photo) Kent, Wash.-based New Frontier Aerospace says it has put its 3D-printed Mjölnir rocket engine ...

Aerospike rocket engines are the stuff of legend in the space industry. Conceived in the 1960s, their unique spiked-nozzle design promises better efficiency, reusability, and performance at all ...

BERTHOUD, Colo. — Ursa Major, a Colorado-based rocket propulsion startup said Monday it has landed a follow-on contract award from America Makes to qualify its copper additive manufacturing process ...

With an avalanche of private space companies upon us, the number of engines meant to carry rockets and their cargo into space has grown rapidly over the past few years. This world is now dominated by ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...
