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.

NASA’s latest generation of 3D printed rocket engines is not just a materials experiment, it is a direct assault on the cost ...

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (KFOR) – Officials at Tinker Air Force Base say members of a local Air Force Sustainment Center wing have made history. Members of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex have ...

To help break down barriers to space research, MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. Their device, which can be produced rapidly and for a ...

Perhaps the humble block and tackle — multiple parallel pulleys to reduce the effort of lifting — is not such a common sight as it once was in this age of hydraulic loaders, but it remains a useful ...

The volatile nature of space rocket engines means that many early prototypes end up embedded in dirt banks or decorating the tops of any trees that are unfortunate enough to neighbor testing sites.

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 ...

The promise of 3D printing in automotive applications is clear for all to see, but it still takes clever engineering to get the most out of the futuristic process. It likely won’t come as a surprise ...

Relativity Space stage 1 3D-printed rocket being installed at Cape Canaveral, Fla. If this summer's Terran1 launch from Cape Canaveral is a success, Relativity Space will be the first aerospace ...

Kevin Czinger reckons cars can be designed and made like smartphones, with brands developing gotta-have-it products with help from artificially intelligent and machine-learned supercomputers, with ...
