Australian Researchers Design, Build, and Test-Fire 3D Printed Rocket Engine in Four Months
“The race to a complete, 3D printed rocket engine is on – NASA has been working for years to develop a fully 3D printed rocket engine, and this summer Rocket Crafters, Inc. received a DARPA contractto build and test a 3D printed, large-scale rocket engine. Now, in just four months, a team of Australian engineers from Monash University and its spin-out company Amaero Engineering has successfully designed, built, and test-fired a 3D printed rocket engine. The joint effort between the two, also supported by Woodside Energy through the Woodside Innovation Centre at Monash, has been dubbed ProjectX, a unique multi-chamber aerospike rocket engine design that flips the traditional shape of engines. This achievement is a direct illustration for Australian industry of the potential of 3D printing technology…”
