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 ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

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 ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as 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 ...
