European Space Agency (ESA) sets up 3DPrinting ‘one-stop shop’
The previous post, "Rocket Lab Launch: Mahia Peninsula" (not associated with the ESA or MTC): A low-cost launch system came in the form of the Electron, whose Rutherford engine can be 3D printed in 24 hours. The engine’s main prop valves, injectors, pumps and engine chambers are all 3D printed through electron beam melting, and the engine itself is the first of its kind, using an electric motor instead of gas and creating a more lightweight, efficient machine.

At materialstoday.com - ESA sets up 3D printing ‘one-stop shop’ - 12 June 2017
The introduction:
The European Space Agency (ESA) has reportedly set up a new UK-based ‘one-stop shop’ covering additive manufacturing (AM) in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
The MTC, based in Coventry and home to the UK National Centre for Additive Manufacturing, will manage the new ESA Additive Manufacturing Benchmarking Centre (AMBC), which will provide a way for ESA projects and companies to investigate the potential of AM for their work.

At the-mtc.org - ESA and MTC have lift off with launch of 3D printing benchmarking centre - Tuesday 30 May 2017
The introduction:
The European Space Agency (ESA) is to embrace the radical new technology of additive manufacturing (3D printing) having set-up a new UK-based ‘one-stop shop’ in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
The MTC, based in Coventry and home to the UK National Centre for Additive Manufacturing, will manage the new ESA Additive Manufacturing Benchmarking Centre (AMBC), which will provide a simple and easy way for ESA projects and hi-tech companies to investigate the potential of additive manufacturing for their work.
The move will see the ESA call on the expertise of the MTC, which is at the forefront of additive manufacturing (AM) and offers access to the latest state-of-the-art AM capabilities, allowing prototype parts to be produced and then assessed in terms of their suitability for specific applications.
