Chromatic 3D Materials achieves breakthrough in 3D printed rocket propellant

Chromatic 3D Materials successfully 3D printed and tested a rocket propellant prototype at an Alabama test range, demonstrating the viability of additive manufacturing for propulsion materials. The breakthrough shows that complex propellant components can be manufactured layer-by-layer, potentially reducing costs and lead times for aerospace applications.

Chromatic 3D Materials, a company developing additively manufactured elastomeric and propulsion materials, has announced successful prototype printing and static fire testing of its 3D printed rocket propellant at the Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S) test range in Opelika, Alabama. Tests…
