D printing is revolutionizing rocket science by enabling on-demand space launches and advancing technological capabilities.

Imagine you’re driving to work on a rainy day, when a distracted, reckless driver hits your car out of nowhere. With a “boom,” an airbag deploys faster than you can blink your eyes to save your life.

Lightweight rocket components mean more ambitious missions beyond Mars are possible. Engineers at NASA have managed to construct lighter rocket parts that don't melt using 3D printing and a novel ...

Relativity Space launched its Terran 1 rocket earlier this year. Now it's turning its efforts to the much larger Terran R rocket capable of bringing large payloads into orbit. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his ...

The alloy could be used in future missions to the moon and Mars and can withstand high temperatures while reducing the weight and cost of components. Relativity Space’s Terran 1 became the first ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — 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.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The third time was the charm! Well, sort of. After two scrubbed attempts, Relativity Space successfully launched the world's first 3D-printed rocket from Launch Complex 16 at ...

Relativity Space, a Long Beach-based aerospace company, made history with the successful launch of the worlds first-ever 3D printed rocket out of the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on ...
