NASA first attempt at using 3D-printed parts for rocket engines has passed its biggest, and hottest, test yet. The largest 3D-printed rocket part built to date, a rocket engine injector, survived a ...

ROCKET TEST: Engineers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center have tested a rocket engine injector made with additive manufacturing (AM), the 3D printing process that allows complex shapes to be crafted at a ...

NASA has successfully tested the most complex rocket engine parts ever designed by the agency and printed with additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, on a test stand at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight ...

While 3D printing is still very much a niche market and hobby, the industry has slowly been making strides toward printing practical items. NASA recently test-fired 3D printed rocket parts, which not ...

Last we checked on NASA’s 3D-printing front, astronauts could soon be eating 3D-printed pizza. Now, 3D printing is bringing NASA one step closer to a 3D-printed spacecraft. Last week, NASA tested the ...
