Home Away From Home: 3D-Printed Habitats on the Moon
The Earth’s Moon: an empty and pointless waste of rock, with nothing to do and no one to do it…until now. A consortium of European companies and organizations, including London-based architectural firm Foster + Partners, has just been commissioned by…
Going Large on 3D Printed Aerospace Parts
The vibe coming out of Euromold at the end of last year was all about scaling up 3D printers for bigger applications. Well, one of the biggest 3DP applications I’ve ever seen in metal came to light last week and…
3D Printing Satellites
When we talk about the satellites orbiting the earth the image that comes to most people’s mind often resembles a small-scale space station with reflective mirror panels and antennae sticking out. The lesser-known fact is that the research community is…
Creating A Whole Other Dimension – Enabled by 3D Printing
Researchers at MIT have used 3D printing to fabricate a three-dimensional, lightweight metamaterial lens that focuses radio waves with extreme precision. Essentially this is tech geek heaven. Metamaterials are manmade, with intricately designed structures that are capable of bending electromagnetic…
NASA's Next Generation of Rockets to Benefit from 2 Primary Advantages of 3D Printing
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS)* Program was brought into effect towards the end of last year with the aim of supporting space exploration. The project is focused on developing a heavy-lift rocket — managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center…
Developing 3D Printed Aerospace Applications
Airbus, a leading international aircraft manufacturer has been bullish about its future plans around using 3D printing as part of their manufacturing processes with a goal of making the entire aircraft from ground up with giant 3D printers by 2050.…
Early R&D Points to 3D Printing on the Moon
NASA is constantly testing and developing new game-changing technologies in order to support its quest to discover the universe and space. 3D printing is one of these technologies, along with others, and has been applied already in projects such as…
Future of Aviation
Commercial air travel is everyday life these days, but little did the Wright Brothers know about the power of their invention just over one hundred years ago. Since then we have sent people to the moon, launched satellites into the…
