This last Sunday in March, 3D printing has new surprises in store for us. To start this top 5, we bring you the news of the week: the launch of Terran 1, Relativity Space’s 3D-printed rocket. The start was a success, but the goal was not achieved. Below we explain everything to you. Then we offer you a short course in the history of 3D printing. You know the technology, but do you know who is believed to be its creator, just answer in the video. The third video is published by Markforge. The company has announced that it has 3D printed parts for a jet engine dragster in collaboration with Larsen Motorsports. We wish you a nice Sunday!
TOP 1: The start of the Terran 1: This Wednesday at 11:30 p.m. American time, the Terran 1, the relativity space rocket, was launched from Cape Canaveral towards space. This is the first launch of a spacecraft made up of 85% 3D printed parts. The launch was successful, but did not achieve the goal of reaching orbit. An engine problem prevented the rocket from further conquering space. Nevertheless, we recommend that you watch the start on video!
TOP 2: A dragster with 3D printed parts: fan of speed? This video is made for you! Markforge worked with Larsen Motorsports to 3D print parts that were integrated into a jet engine dragster. This vehicle could benefit from an additively manufactured steering wheel to improve the handling of this miniature rocket. Get ready, this video will blow your mind!
TOP 3: A 3D printing course: 3D printing has been around for many years. It is becoming more and more democratized and is becoming a reliable means of production in many industries. But do you know who is believed to be their creator? To find out, the Tech Napa channel reveals the career of Charles Hull, the “father” of 3D printing.
TOP 4: A 3D printed kart: Videographer Ivan Mirada offers us a small series of videos in which he reveals how he created a 3D printed kart. In it he installed the steering and the chassis, the seat and the wheels. In the end, he only needs the engines and the brakes to complete his vehicle, worthy of the Mario Kart video game! It remains to be seen whether the videographer will also use 3D printing to produce the remaining parts. To be continued in the next episode…
TOP 5: Is it possible to 3D print reinforced concrete? : Reinforced concrete is an essential element in the construction sector. It’s a mix of concrete (logical) and steel. The properties of the metal make it possible to obtain a material that is stronger, more durable, but more complicated to extrude. From now on it would be possible to 3D print this material. At least that’s how Twente Additive Manufacturing explains it. Myth or Reality? Answer right below!
