3D printing brings more efficient ways to make rocket propellants Every day, scientists are finding new ways to use 3D-printed energetics to serve crucial, and sometimes lifesaving, purposes.

An almost entirely 3D-printed rocket named the Terran 1 was launched into space earlier this year, made by the world's largest metal 3D printers. It belongs to a company called Relativity Space ...

Relativity Space is attempting to launch the world's first 3D-printed rocket into orbit. If successful, the mission will mark a new milestone for the space industry.

Relativity Space’s Terran 1 rocket, the first test rocket made entirely of 3D-printed parts, launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on March 22. John Kraus/Relativity Space ...

It’s a relatively small rocket, just 110 feet (33 meters), and won’t be carrying anything for this test flight except for a memento: the first successful metal 3D print from the company's ...

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.

The 3D-printed Terran 1 rocket from Relativity Space may make its debut flight later this month if all goes to plan.

A rocket made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts made its launch debut Wednesday night, lifting off amid fanfare but failing three minutes into flight — far short of orbit.

A rocket made almost entirely of 3D parts was poised to blast off Wednesday on its debut launch. California-based Relativity Space is attempting to launch the rocket to orbit from Cape Canaveral.
