Launching into space with 3D printed rocket engines | AMCM
The U.S. launch company Launcher is building complete combustion chambers and injectors for liquid rocket engines with a thrust of 10 tons on a custom AM large-scale system from AMCM and testing them at NASA Stennis Space Center. AMCM M 4K 3D-printed combustion chamber of Launcher's E-2 engine is printed in one p...
Launcher acquired AMCM M 4K system for its new production …
2021年5月18日 · The AMCM M 4K system enables Launcher to produce the world’s largest single-part 3D printed copper alloy combustor at Launcher’s headquarters and production facility in Hawthorne, California. Launcher will additively manufacture the entire 10 ton-force E-2 rocket engine to deliver small satellites to low Earth orbit.
We just built the world’s largest 3D-printed aerospike rocket …
2022年5月11日 · Last night, EOS sister company AMCM completed the print of the world’s largest aerospike rocket engine. It was engineered completely in Hyperganic Core using advanced software algorithms and has never seen a single piece of manual CAD.
Launcher Acquires AMCM M4K Printer to 3D Print Whole Engine …
2021年5月20日 · To meet the challenge, we partnered with AMCM GmbH to create the AMCM M 4K 3D printer for printing Launcher’s E-2 liquid rocket engine chamber as a single part in copper alloy.”
3D Printed Copper Rocket Engine Tested Successfully
2022年4月27日 · As we reported last year, Launcher is using a custom metal 3D printer developed by AMCM, the MK4. This is a rather large device with a build volume of 1000 x 450 x 450, and is actually based on an EOS M400 platform. Somehow AMCM was able to adapt the MK4 to 3D print the copper alloy, which is notoriously challenging to print using LPBF technology.
