3D printing is a powerful tool for creating all kinds of stuff, but it has its limits. Hobbyist-focused machines that dispense melted plastic through a nozzle can only make parts that are so strong.

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Tech. Sgt. Tylar Cravens believes he has an idea that could change the way the Air Force trains aircraft maintainers, and he’ll soon pitch it to top leaders at the Pentagon.

Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

3D printing for rocket engines is making a lot of headlines lately. In the last few weeks, we've told you about Aerojet Rocketdyne building and hot-firing a 3D-printed rocket engine and NASA's ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

The previously used Rutherford engine passed qualification tests and is set to make history as the first 3D-printed engine to reach space for a second time. Reading time 3 minutes Reusability is the ...
