Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

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 printed materials have come a long way in the last decade or so as printers have become more and more mainstream. Printers can use all kinds of different plastics with varying physical ...

Beehive Industries, a company that 3D prints jet engines for unmanned military vehicles, will ramp up production at its Knoxville facility with the help of a new $12.4 million contract sponsored by ...

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.

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 ...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian researchers unveiled the world's first 3D-printed jet engine on Thursday, a manufacturing breakthrough that could lead to cheaper, lighter and more fuel-efficient jets.

You’re exploring for precious metals on the moon but your lander’s engine needs a replacement part and that’s making it a little hard to concentrate. So, you do what anyone would do in the ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

Is it real? Well, yes and no. “While it’s not to scale, this 1.5 inch long model was made entirely from direct metal laser melting and required no assembly,” explains GE in another tweet. Does it work ...
