3D Printed Rocket Engine Injector Designed, Tested

An American rocket manufacturer has successfully used [url="http://www.dailytech.com/3D+Printed+Gun+Fails+after+Six+Shots/article29339.htm"]3D printing[/url] to build one of the main components of a rocket -- the engine injector.

American rocket company Aerojet Rocketdyne designed and fabricated the 3D printed engine injector while NASA's Glenn Research Center and the Air Force Research Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base in California helped it test the component.

Aerojet Rocketdyne made the engine injector using selective laser melting manufacturing technology, which uses high-powered laser beams to melt and merge metallic powders into 3D structures.

NASA and the Air Force lab then helped Aerojet Rocketdyne test the 3D printed engine injector through hot fire testing of a liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen rocket injector assembly.[/left]

To manufacture this component with traditional systems would take over a year. However, using 3D printing reduces this time frame to only four months.

It also cuts the cost of production by 70 percent.

"NASA recognizes that on Earth and potentially in space, additive manufacturing can be game-changing for new mission opportunities, significantly reducing production time and cost by 'printing' tools, engine parts or even entire spacecraft," said Michael Gazarik, NASA's associate administrator for space technology in Washington. "3-D manufacturing offers opportunities to optimize the fit, form and delivery systems of materials that will enable our space missions while directly benefiting American businesses here on Earth."[/left]

what??? this is by no mean like the older injectors !!!i my if its a fuel injector its very strange and rare !!!

son of a b$@*/s

i can't help it.... sorry for that! :) i have to say it in order to make my mind process!

 

so, if i were a good engineer and able to design an AK part's, i would be able to print one for me?

senaps and bro's (except siamak) gun productions.....

 

technology is moving so fast in iran we can't catch it...

helloo brother

hi dear :)

 

how are u ? 

 

everythings alright inshaallah ?

 

i left IMF for good :(

what??? this is by no mean like the older injectors !!!i my if its a fuel injector its very strange and rare !!!

every single thing about these kinds of high tech researches are odd

 

but does that make it less important ? cause its "odd" ? i suppose not

[yavarrr 822]

 

i left IMF for good :(

 

why ??  .

i know the catssoo he is an idot . but what can i do . i hope is see more of you in pakistani one and this one
