Space Application – Thrusters

Additive Manufacturing, known colloquially as 3D Printing, is now an established method of manufacturing, is real and not a gimmick. We are currently in a new space race, which is being led by commercial tech start-ups. These companies are small, nimble-acting and forward-thinking, refuse to do things the old way and embrace the new. For these companies and more, Additive Manufacturing is the key to unlocking access to space. As we seek to push the boundaries of human space flight, the challenge for space launch providers and the associated supply chain, is to provide greater access to space by improving products, deploying new materials, simplifying designs, decreasing part count, reducing errors and driving smarter and leaner operations. From combustion devices for rocket engine propulsion to DED additive manufacturing of domes, barrels and fuel tanks, the technology is providing real solutions to space exploration problems. This showcase will elaborate on space applications made from non-standard AM materials.
