Our team member Aerojet Rocketdyne is doing this

received a $6 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to define the standards that will be used to qualify additively manufactured components for use in liquid-fueled rocket engine


Aerojet Rocketdyne will draw upon its extensive experience with additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3-D printing, to establish the standards to qualify 3-D printed rocket engine components for flight.


“We are taking our seven decades of experience in building rocket engines, which represents more than 2,100 successful launches, and combining that with our in-depth knowledge of additive manufacturing to assist the Air Force in defining qualification requirements for this technology,” said Dr. Jay Littles, director of Advanced Launch Vehicle Propulsion at Aerojet Rocketdyne


and what experience does Aerojet have with a very important part of qualification?? I'll tell those who don't know and that is working on a America Makes team with GE Aviation, Honeywell, and Sigma LAbs to develop the commercialy available IPQA soluton which we offer of course. I'm anticipating that order for PrintRite3D will be announced in fairly short order. :) Just imagining IPQA being built into that standard.
The dots on the page are starting to leave very little wiggle room for another inprocess quality assurance solution for our team members. :)

Good Luck Longs!
