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 ...

NASA's Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project test-fired a 3D-printed engine ...

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 ...

Ever since SpaceX made reusability the most desirable trait of a spacefaring operation, all the companies working in this industry have shifted their attention toward making hardware that can fly to ...

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 ...

Indian space firm Agnikul launched its first sub-orbital test spacecraft powered by its unique 3D-printed rocket engines on Thursday. The event comes after two years of preparation and multiple ...

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 ...

3D printing, though still somewhat of a niche hobby, is growing in popularity. Much of that is thanks to its adoption in various industries. That includes the automotive world, as there are 3D-printed ...

(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 ...
