China has conducted a successful maiden flight of a miniature turbojet engine manufactured entirely with 3D printing, a development that explores new methods for tackling difficulties in aerospace ...

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.

The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 previously used Rutherford engine passed qualification tests and is set to make history as the first 3D-printed engine to reach space for a second time. Reading time 3 minutes Reusability is the ...

Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans. Still, even the most basic early designs were ...
