bearnard55 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I`ve recently found an interesting article about 3D printer which is used in aerospace area. Have you heard anything about that? This machine allows to print multi-composite parts simultaneously from several materials, which is infeasible in other types of aerospace 3d printing.

SpaceTourist33 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 What about 3D printed satellites? Had this machine ever produced them or not? bearnard55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess yes, to make the process of manufacturing satellites and microsatellites 3D printing technology can be used. Also, I`ve recently found out that 3D printing technology is used in airplane jet engines and in some rocket engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearnard55 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I`ve read that the third stage for the XL rocket was made with the usage of additive technology. I can't believe that engines can be made with the help of 3d printer. I`ve never thought that 3d printing couldn't be used for such purposes. However, as I see, the final material is tough enough to handle that kind of stress. https://www.skyrora.com/third-stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though this machine is used for printing rocket parts as you said, why can't engineers adjust is to satellites, right? I think it would be good. I`ve heard about this space company. As far as I know, this space company manufactures special type of microsatellites that can observe the land. This type of microsatellites is frequently used in the agrarian sphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
