California Company Launches Its First 3D-Printed Rocket
A California-based aerospace company is making history by launching the world’s first 3D-printed rocket. On March 23rd, 2023, the company, Spaceborne, will make its debut with the launch of the “Falcon 9” rocket, designed and manufactured entirely using 3D-printing technology. The Falcon 9 will be powered by a hybrid-electric engine, the first of its kind, and will be capable of carrying up to 950 kilograms of cargo into space. The entire manufacturing process, from printing the rocket to testing and launching it, took less than one year to complete. This revolutionary technology could revolutionize the aerospace industry, reducing costs, saving time, and allowing for more efficient production of rockets and other spacecraft. Spaceborne is now at the forefront of the 3D-printing revolution, and will be a pioneer in the development of space exploration technology.
