The Genius of 3D Printed Rockets

3D-printed long-range solid rocket motor aces testing, can give edge to US.

Two American firms have conducted successful flight tests of a new solid rocket motor with long-range capabilities. RTX and Colorado-based propulsion firm Ursa Major conducted the test at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California.

Ursa Major’s Lynx 3D printing technology was used to manufacture the solid rocket motor. This, in combination with Raytheon’s digital engineering capabilities, enabled the partners to accelerate development times and cut production costs, according to a statement.

“These long-range solid rocket motors will allow the U.S. Army and allies to strike farther and faster than anything our adversaries have in their arsenals,” said Tom Laliberty, president of Land and Air Defense Systems at Raytheon.
