Expanding the boundaries of 3D printing parts for space
Crews and supplies regularly travel to the International Space Station, Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket has launched more than 100 times, and the US shuttle program ran 135 missions. Nonetheless, there’s nothing routine about the controlled explosions that blast people and cargo into space. Nor is there anything routine about the extreme conditions faced by humans and equipment once outside the protective bubble of the earth’s atmosphere.

Better Metal Powder, Better Metal Prints
The saying ‘garbage in, garbage out’ holds true for metal additive manufacturing (AM). While metal AM offers benefits like design freedom, reduced lead times, and bespoke part production, it has yet to revolutionize the $13 trillion manufacturing industry, remaining largely in the realms of R&D, product development, and tooling.
