NASA using 3D laser printing to create complex rocket parts

NASA using 3D laser printing to create complex rocket parts:

NASA engineers are using a 3D laser printing system to produce intricate metal parts such as rocket engine components for its next-generation Space Launch System (SLS). The method called “selective laser melting “ (SLM) promises to streamline fabrication and significantly reduce production costs...
