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]
Made In Space developed Archinaut's 3D printer; Oceaneering Space Systems was in charge of its manipulator arm, and Northrop Grumman was in charge of control electronics, software, and integration with the space station. [4] [2] The first structures to be built with Archinaut would have been antenna reflectors for communication satellites. [4]
AgniKul Cosmos holds the patent for design and manufacturing of single-piece rocket engine. The first dedicated factory to manufacture large number of 3D printed rocket engines is in IIT Madras Research Park. [16] On 7 February 2023, flight acceptance test of Angilet for Agnikul's controlled sub-orbital flight was successfully conducted.
Most of the 110-foot (33-meter) rocket, including its engines, came out of the company’s huge 3D printers in Long Beach, California. Relativity Space said 3D-printed metal parts made up 85% of ...
In order to 3D print large components such as rocket tanks and airframes, Relativity Space has created a system named Stargate, which it claims is the world's largest 3D printer of metals. [ 37 ] [ 38 ] Stargate uses existing welding technology to melt metal wire, layer by layer, into precise and complex structures that have minimal joints and ...

These are all electric-pump-fed engines allowing for simplified engine design and highly configurable engine clustering architectures. It is capable of operating with a sea-level Isp of 285 seconds. The entire combustion section is a single-piece assembly and is fully 3D printed. The second stage of the vehicle also uses an Agnilet engine ...
The rocket was made from 3D-printed advanced composite materials and measures 3 meters (9.8 ft) and weighs 15 kilograms (33 lb). It is designed to propel a Can Satellite (CanSat) around 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) into the atmosphere.
