LEAP71 continues to break records, this time with the world’s largest 3D-printed aerospike rocket engine. There’s quite a story behind this feat. Aerospike engines are very different from conventional ...

3D printing is a powerful tool for creating all kinds of stuff, but it has its limits. Hobbyist-focused machines that dispense melted plastic through a nozzle can only make parts that are so strong.

Explore the innovative collaboration between LEAP 71 and HBD in creating the largest 3D printed aerospike rocket engine.
