Relativity Space has the audacious goal of 3D printing 95 percent of a rocket and sending it to orbit. Getting to space is hard. But completely reinventing how rockets are manufactured at the same time? Harder. Six-year-old upstart Relativity may nail both by the…
Simplification of design – and therefore of the supply chain – is one of the biggest benefits of 3D printing. Simulation and optimization help to develop a smaller, lighter antenna that could be made quickly. Engineers at Optisys LLC, a…
A great article by Kent Firestone of Stratasys summarising the many areas where 3D printing is affecting supply chains. 3D printing has been around for decades, but it wasn’t until the last several years that its potential has been more…
