Next, let’s explore the key components of the 3D-printed rocket and the manufacturing process for them.
3D printing enables the creation of complex rocket parts that were previously impossible or costly to produce with traditional methods. Critical components such as engine nozzles, fuel injectors, and combustion chambers can be printed as single pieces, eliminating the need for assembly and reducing the risk of failure. Metal alloys like titanium and nickel-based superalloys are commonly used, offering high strength and heat resistance essential for space travel.
The process begins with a digital 3D model, which is sliced into thin layers. A 3D printer then deposits material layer by layer, fusing each layer to build the final part. This additive approach minimizes material waste and allows for rapid prototyping and iteration.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) collaborated with the Customer Innovation Center (CIC) of 3D Systems and achieved a breakthrough in the innovation of rocket engine fuel injectors through metal 3D printing technology in 2018.
Terran 1 conducted the world’s first fully 3D-printed rocket launch in March 2023 (with 95% of the components being printed), although it did not reach orbit, it verified the reliability of the 3D-printed structure.
The Terran R project is scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2026, with a focus on reusable technology (capable of transporting 20 tons in Low Earth Orbit).
3D printing is accelerating the advancement of space exploration at an unprecedented pace. Its application in rocket manufacturing not only enhances reliability but also greatly expands design possibilities, ushering in a new chapter for humanity’s journey into deeper space.

SLA uses ultraviolet (UV) lasers to cure photopolymer resins layer by layer, creating parts with micrometer-level accuracy and exceptional surface finish. What once was only a prototyping method has now become a production-ready solution for industries demanding speed, detail, and reliability.
TPI (Tech Print Industries), a pioneer in on-demand 3D printed eyewear, will return to Silmo Paris 2025 with the exclusive preview of its brand-new TPI Design Gallery. This web-based software platform enables brands, retailers, and designers to create collections from scratch or remix modular designs, all the way through to virtual try-on and photorealistic presentation.
Did you know that the sleek finish on your smartphone case, the grippy texture of your yoga mat, and even the waterproof lining in your medical device all rely on an unsung hero—soft polymer laminates? These flexible, multi-layered materials are transforming industries by combining functionality with aesthetics. Let’s explore how they work and why they matter.
Titanium is a favorite of aerospace, medical, and high-performance engineering, mainly because it’s strong, light, and resists corrosion, making it perfect for aircraft components, implants, and other demanding applications. But titanium is expensive, and its high melting point, reactivity, and tendency to form uneven structures during printing might have slowed its adoption in some industries.
