…the value of 3D printing for cost-effectively and flexibly delivery these satellites to orbit. In April, Launcher purchased a metal additive manufacturing system to print Inconel parts, and it recently added another one that prints titanium. “Rocket engine turbopump parts typically require casting, forging, and welding,” said Max Haot, founder and CEO of Launcher. “Tooling required for these processes increases the cost of development and reduces flexibility between design iterations. The ability to 3D print our turbopump—including rotating Inconel-shrouded impellers, thanks to Velo3D’s zero-degree technology—makes it possible now at a lower cost and increased innovation through iteration between each prototype.”…
