By 2017, a 3D printed rocket engine had successfully launched a rocket to space, when on 25 May 2017 an Electron rocket launched to space from New Zealand that was the first to be powered by a main stage rocket "engine made almost entirely using 3D printing." [3] The Electron's first successful orbital launch was on 21 January 2018. [4]
Terran 1 was an expendable two-stage small-lift launch vehicle developed by Relativity Space.Development began in 2017 and the rocket was retired in 2023. [2] Most structures and components of the vehicle are manufactured with 3D printing processes.
Terran R is a heavy-lift two-stage, partially reusable launch vehicle under development by Relativity Space. The vehicle is partially constructed with 3D printing technologies, like its predecessor, the small-lift Terran 1. [2] [3] The first flight is expected to be in 2026. [4]
