NASA recently announced future rocket engines will include large scale 3D printed parts. A number of other companies are exploring how 3D printing additive manufacturing can be used in future space projects.

One company, nTopology, developed software that seamlessly combines synthesized geometry and simulation for use with advanced manufacturing tools, such as additive technology. Ryan O’Hara, technical director of aerospace and defense at nTopology , discusses additive projects for the space and aerospace industry. Additive manufacturing offers several benefits for aerospace and for space exploration. According to O’Hara, any land-based object and specifically any engineered part that goes into space is a combined part or assembly. Launching such a part into space ultimately requires a lot of money. While NASA is pushing for space exploration, you can only get so far with resources on earth. And there’s a limit to how far that can go. But if parts are […]
