Cost reduction in aerospace through additive manufacturing

Spacecrafts are developed, tested and fully assembled on Earth and transported in one piece by a launch vehicle to their respective places of operation. Each component must be able to withstand the extreme conditions during the launch phase. In most cases, in addition to complex test procedures, this leads to an oversized structure of the spacecraft components, because in orbit they experience only a fraction of the stresses they must endure during rocket launch.

Boom Supersonic Readies for Flight with Metal Additive Manufacturing on Board

Challenging titanium parts for XB-1 demonstrator aircraft successfully 3D printed on VELO3D’s Sapphire system

GA-ASI completes first test flight with metal 3D-printed part

From design to test flight in six months after close collaboration GE Additive’s AddWorks team, the GA-ASI team launched a test flight of its MQ-9B SkyGuardian, the first remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) with a metal printed part, its NACA inlet.

ESA Extended: Reducing Plastic Consumption in Space With Lunar Powder

Since becoming a part of the European Astronaut Centre’s lab equipment in February 2017, the Composer 450 has been instrumental in their prototyping processes. ESA researchers have successfully used the extruder to develop custom quantities of PLA-based filament for research and development iterations. The 3devo set-up gives Spaceship EAC the ability to create 3D printing filament in-house. Also, reducing Spaceship EAC’s dependence on the expertise and availability of third-party filament suppliers.
