The space industry continues to thrive with the help of additive manufacturing (AM), which, as AM Research says in its “3D Printing in Commercial Space” report, offers many advantages over traditional methods of manufacturing, including shorter lead times, weight and part count reduction, and design flexibility, and sustainability. U.S. space launch company Stoke Space, headquartered in Kent, Washington, wants to increase access to outer space, and is using 3D printing to build more efficient, rapidly reusable rockets to achieve this goal. But depowdering these rocket parts is a major challenge, which is why it’s using Smart Powder Recuperation (SPR) technology by Solukon.
