…to take advantage of Velo3D’s contract manufacturing partners like Stratasys Direct Manufacturing when scaling up production. Launcher successfully tested the liquid oxygen (LOX) turbopump for its high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine at NASA’s Stennis Space Center. The company is now working with Velo3D to 3D-print its fuel pump, flight turbine housing parts, and Orbiter pressure vessels. It will make these vessels with the second Velo3D Sapphire metal AM system. “Velo3D really delivered on our turbopump, including its 3D-printed rotating impeller, all of which functioned perfectly the very first time at 30,000 rpm, using the first prototype,” said Haot. The sky's…

Stratasys has launched a new program to integrate its 3D printers in production environments with the factory floor via the GrabCAD Software Development Kit (SDK). Each SDK package includes a complete set of application programming interfaces documentation, and code samples that enable development partners and manufacturing customers to establish two-way connectivity between Stratasys FDM 3D printers and enterprise software applications. Stratasys has previously introduced support for MTConnect, an industry-standard protocol that enables customers to communicate factory data. However, this standard does not support additional capabilities for sending and receiving printer commands and for remote monitoring. Stratasys is now meeting the…
