The Rutherford engine raised a few eyebrows when it was first proposed. So what was it like designing, building and launching the world's first 3D printed, electric pump-fed rocket engine? Our founder and CEO Peter Beck shares some of the challenges and successes along the way. | Rocket Lab

Final stages of testing our new TPI hard enduro set up. Got our TPI test bikes up against the ultimate TBI (the exact engine we built for Graham Jarvis to race in the Hard Enduro World Championship) We'll be offering a package that will set your bike up exactly like the factory riders use. (Different cylinder port timing, weighted and balanced crankshaft and some other tricks) if you want TBI like smoothness and bottom end but the lovely TPI chassis then this might be for you. | Rutherford Racin

Another day, another additively-manufactured rocket engine part coming off the 3D printers. Approx. 90% of the mass of the Archimedes engine for Neutron is 3D printed material, including this turbine housing structure. With Archimedes engines now in production and 200 Rutherford engines printed every year, our Engine Development Complex in California is busier than ever. | Rocket Lab

Testing our Rutherford rocket engines never gets old. When this Electron second stage fires up on orbit this year for our 25th mission, it will be our 250th Rutherford engine in space 🚀 | Rocket Lab

For the first time, we’re going to launch a pre-flown 3D printed Rutherford engine. It has already been to space and back. Now it’s going again. Learn more about the next major steps in our Electron reusability program: https://bwnews.pr/3oosOXR | Rocket Lab
