The launch of the world's first 3D-printed rocket, Terran 1, was recently canceled at the last second.
About Terran 1 Rocket:
It is the world’s first 3D-printed rocket.
It is built by California aerospace startupRelativity Space.
Features:
The rocket is 110 feet (33.5 meters) tall with a diameter of7.5 feet (2.2 meters) .
Eighty-five percent of its mass is 3D printed with metal alloys, including the engines.
It is powered by Aeon engines using liquid oxygen and liquid natural gas as propellants.
It has nine 3D-printed Aeon 1 engines in its first stage and one 3D-printed Aeon Vacuum engine in its second stage.
The rocket will eventually be capable of putting up to 2,755 pounds (1,250 kilograms) into low Earth orbit.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes.
In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object.
3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
