Fully 3D printed rocket engine Is fired up at Monash University in Melbourne 3D Printing Service Providers

by Aerospace

Monash University engineers have designed, printed, and test-fired a rocket engine. The new rocket engine is a unique aerospike design that turns the traditional engine shape inside out. Two years ago, Monash University researchers and their partners were the first in the world to print a jet engine, based on existing engine design. That work led to Monash spin-out company Amaero winning contracts with major aerospace companies around the world.
