Launcher moves on to develop avionics for its satellite delivery system Aerospace

Launcher, an NYC startup developing the world’s most efficient rocket to deliver small satellites to orbit, started by leveraging 3D printing to develop a high-performance propulsion system. In no segment like the space industry segment, 3D printing is enabling small teams to get into the game and compete with industrial giants on getting stuff into orbit. Now the company is ready to move on to the next stage: avionics, and to do so, having established a valid and credible proposition, it was able to attract NASA JPL & SpaceX veterans Kevin Watson and Rich Petras.

SLM Solutions partners with MAGNET to produce molds for face shields AM Industry

As part of its Additive Alliance Against Corona initiative, SLM Solutions used its metal 3D printing technology to produce plastic injection tooling molds to mass manufacture face shield headbands for the Manufacturing & Advocacy Growth Network (MAGNET), a manufacturing consulting firm in Ohio. SLM Solutions 3D printed the molds in its Wixom, Michigan facility enabling MAGNET to save time and money in additively manufacturing the tooling needed to produce the face shields quickly.
