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 ...

NASA’s latest generation of 3D printed rocket engines is not just a materials experiment, it is a direct assault on the cost structure that has defined spaceflight for decades. By combining advanced ...

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 ...

3D printing can be used for making all sorts of objects, including the cylinder head on your car, but how long would it last?

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Tech. Sgt. Tylar Cravens believes he has an idea that could change the way the Air Force trains aircraft maintainers, and he’ll soon pitch it to top leaders at the Pentagon.

It's no secret GE Aviation is building a plant that will use 3D printing to mass-produce metal parts for its LEAP (Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion) Turbofan jet engine. The aircraft engine leader has ...

Students from the San Diego chapter of the University of California test-fire a new 3D-printed engine, making UC San Diego the very first university to “additively manufacture” a rocket engine. The ...

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 ...

Many firsts: The Agnikul mission was packed with multiple firsts that have significant implications both for India and the world. It marked the country's inaugural rocket launch from a privately owned ...

(Nanowerk News) An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid, generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal ...

Is it real? Well, yes and no. “While it’s not to scale, this 1.5 inch long model was made entirely from direct metal laser melting and required no assembly,” explains GE in another tweet. Does it work ...
