Stratolaunch, the independent satellite launch venture of Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen, is heading for a liftoff with an 85% 3D printed engine. According to a company fact sheet, “The propulsion team is currently in the process of manufacturing and testing prototype subscale and full-scale hardware. The team has completed ignitor development, with injector testing currently underway. After this is completed, the team will perform a full-scale preburner test by the end of 2018.” The use of additive manufacturing to reduce engine development costs puts Stratolaunch in the company of SpaceX,Skyrora,Launcher和Reaction Engines that recently received a$37.6 million investment用于火箭开发。

The launch of the iPhone XS was heralded by a launch event fromimakrB9Creations和theO2mobile network. To celebrate the iPhone XS’ focus on individuality, 150 O2 VIPs in London, Birmingham and Manchester, were given the opportunity to be scanned and 3D printed in miniature on the B9Creations B9 Core 550. Shon Anderson, CEO of B9Creations, comments, “When our channel partner iMakr reached out to collaborate on O2’s iPhoneXS launch, we leapt at the opportunity to power an unforgettable customer experience with our technology.”

Pragma Well Technology Ltd。, an advanced production service provider for the oil and gas industry, has closed a $700,000 contract withSaudi Aramco– the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. In the terms of the new contract, Pragma will use additive manufacturing to develop a new kind of expandable tubing for Saudi Aramco.

和短范围雷达(SRR)传感器提供商OmniPreSense, headquartered in San Jose, California, has released a 3D printed enclosure for its devices which contains a electromagnetic lens. The new enclosure focuses radar beamwidth and allows the detection of objects that are farther away. Rob Frizzell, CEO and co-founder of OmniPreSense, comments, “Our unique 3D printed design provides a flexible, low cost method of supporting different customer applications without the cost and time of spinning expensive board designs.”
