NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, has pioneered additive manufacturing to create stronger, lighter rocket parts. Launched in 2020, the Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology, or RAMPT, project, led by co-principal investigator Paul Gradl, focuses on developing new alloys and manufacturing processes such as DED of large parts.
RAMPT has achieved significant milestones, including 12 hot-fire tests with 3D printed thrust chamber hardware and demonstrating 40% weight savings with composite materials. The project has conducted over 500 test firings, utilizing new alloys and large-scale additive manufacturing processes. A key achievement is the development of a full-scale version of the RS-25 engine, potentially reducing costs by up to 70%.

“Our primary goal with these higher-performance alloys is to prove them in a rocket engine test-fire environment and then hand them off to enable commercial providers to build hardware, fly launch vehicles, and foster a thriving space infrastructure with real scientific, social, and economic rewards,” Gradl said.
The RAMPT project not only develops new technologies but also advances simulation tools to assess materials at a microstructural level. This approach significantly shortens the design-fail-fix cycle, enabling rapid prototyping and testing.
The RAMPT team received NASA’s 2024 Invention of The Year award for their contributions to deep space exploration. The project is supported by various NASA centers, academic partners, and industry contractors, funded by NASA’s Game Changing Development Program within the Space Technology Mission Directorate.

What is 3D printing? 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology that creates physical objects by stacking and fusing layers
On August 6, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced a significant milestone: the successful 3D printing of metal components in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS). This achievement is set to enhance equipment customization for future Earth-Moon and Earth-Mars missions. While plastic 3D printers have been used in space before, metal offers superior properties and a broader range of applications.
The world’s largest 3D printed housing community, located in Wolf Ranch, Georgetown, Texas, is nearing completion. Powered by ICON’s massive Vulcan 3D printer, the project will deliver 100 homes, highlighting the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of 3D printing in construction. With walls that can withstand extreme weather, reduced material waste, and faster build times, this project redefines modern housing. ICON’s ambitions extend beyond Earth, as they partner with NASA to develop construction systems for future lunar habitats.
The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), has released a new strategy and roadmap aiming to transform additive manufacturing (AM) in the UK aerospace sector by 2028. This initiative seeks to significantly increase the use of AM in civil aerospace, preparing the industry for a £10 billion market by 2033, while addressing key challenges and accelerating the adoption of AM technologies.
