Category: 3D Printing in Aerospace
SlidX, a Canadian startup, had introduced a Gyro-X8 VTOL with the use of 3D printing technology. They named it KAYRYS, which is a perfect drone that can be used during an emergency situation. SlidX had worked with Lezar3D, a Canadian company, in order for them to successfully 3D print 60 percent of the KAYRYS. Read more
The Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research or the ACSER has been using the 3D printer to create a unique chassis for the UNSW-Ec0. The UNSW-Ec0 is a small satellite or “CubeSat”. It will be launched this year from the International Space Station. This will be a part of the European-lead QB50 mission. QB50 Read more
Nowadays, there are plenty of huge rockets that the aerospace industry has that will cost a large fortune to build and also to launch. However, with the continuous development of technology and with the increase of startups in the aerospace sector, you will notice that there is a rapid change for the demand on launching Read more
About 30,000 miles above from the surface of the earth, a science experiment has been conducted and broke through. Aboard the Zero-G space craft three of the most highly technological companies collaborate for to make this science project a success. The TechShot Inc., nScrypt Inc. and Bioficial Organs Inc. Zero Gravity Corporation, a commercial company Read more
The used of UAS or unmanned aircraft systems also called drones are getting popular in the United States where they have sold over 1 million units in 2015. If you wanted to use drones for a short period of time, then you can have the RC quadcopter drones however if it is for surveillance, you Read more
The market in the 3D printing world is very competitive, and companies such as Stratasys and 3D Systems are having difficulty in facing other manufacturers that offer half the price for the printers. The rise and fall of these manufacturers solely depend on how unique and price-sensitive are the products. Zortrax M200 A Polish Read more
NASA is already working on creating 3D printed parts of an engine and it seems that they are near the finish line. Unfortunately, a group of students from University Of California San Diego has successfully created a 3D printed engine for a rocket. The Vulcan-1 had taken off in the Mojave Desert last May 21 Read more
For the first time in the GE Aviation history, the incorporation of the 3D printing system happened last year when they used 3D printed sensor housings in their GE90 engines, which are known to be the largest jet engines at that time. GE was known to have produced large engines, and with the use of Read more
The world’s first unmanned 3D printed airplane has finally been put to the test and proven to work. The Southampton University Laser-Sintered Aircraft or SULSA was not designed to be a passenger plane because it only weighs 3 Kg but with this size, this can serve a better purpose in the future. Just previously, the Read more
The day is almost here! Large corporations of the aerospace and defense industry are building real airplane parts that are fully functional. The aerospace industry is gravitating towards 3D printing not only because of the associated government funding, but because of the immense design benefits that come with it. Re-engineered parts of new design can Read more
