The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents ...

The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...

We are all witnessing an unprecedented growth of the aerospace industry and an important part of that is rocket engine development, meant to increase efficiency while cutting costs. One of these ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In Overmatched, we take a close look at the science and technology ...

3D printing has proven its efficiency in the aerospace industry, and a recent milestone confirms that there are still many interesting applications to explore. This small metal component is no ...

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 ...

3D printing for rocket engines is making a lot of headlines lately. In the last few weeks, we've told you about Aerojet Rocketdyne building and hot-firing a 3D-printed rocket engine and NASA's ...

The volatile nature of space rocket engines means that many early prototypes end up embedded in dirt banks or decorating the tops of any trees that are unfortunate enough to neighbor testing sites.

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...
