Shoe box-sized CubeSats are becoming increasingly important in space exploration and collecting scientific data. But these tiny satellites need efficient and precise propulsion systems for in-orbit ...

The promise of 3D printing in automotive applications is clear for all to see, but it still takes clever engineering to get the most out of the futuristic process. It likely won’t come as a surprise ...

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 ...

GKN Aerospace engineering and manufacturing crew with the 3D-printed fan case mount ring component of Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. GKN Aerospace is expanding its Newington, Conn., facility to shift ...

The volatile nature of space rocket engines means that many early prototypes end up embedded in dirt banks or decorating the tops of any trees that are unfortunate enough to neighbor testing sites.

3D printing for rocket engines is making a lot of headlines lately. In the last few weeks, we've told you about Aerojet Rocketdyne building and hot-firing a 3D-printed rocket engine and NASA's ...
