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]
It was announced in May 2014 that the flight-qualified version of the SuperDraco engine is the first [clarification needed] fully 3D printed rocket engine. In particular, the engine combustion chamber is printed of Inconel , an alloy of nickel and iron, using a process of direct metal laser sintering , and operates at a chamber pressure 6,900 ...
The Aeon 1 rocket engine is designed to produce 23,000 pounds-force (100,000 N) at sea level and 25,400 pounds-force (113,000 N) in a vacuum. The engine is powered by liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LOX). It is made out of a proprietary 3D-printed alloy.
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 ...
At 110ft tall, the Terran 1 is the largest 3D printed object to attempt orbital flight. Skip to main content. Sign in. Mail. 24/7 Help. For premium support please call: 800-290-4726 ...
On Wednesday, NASA introduced people to three-dimensional printing company Directed MFG in a press release announcing a powerful success using "additive manufacturing." Making use of equipment ...
TRI-D is a 3D printed metal rocket engine. Students from the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at [1] [2] University of California, San Diego (SEDS at UC San Diego) built the metal rocket engine using a technique previously confined to NASA, using a GPI Prototype and Manufacturing Services printer [1] via the Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) method.

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.
