New tech 3D prints rocket parts using multiple metals at once, cuts process time by weeks
SMRTR summary
German researchers developed 3D printing technology that combines multiple metals in a single print run to create rocket components, potentially cutting development time by weeks compared to traditional manufacturing that requires separate fabrication and assembly of individual parts. This breakthrough enables stronger, lighter engines by strategically placing different metals where needed most, helping European space programs like ESA reduce costs and compete more effectively.
