NASA's Terran 1 rocket is the world’s largest 3D-printed object, made entirely of 3D-printed parts. It's safe to say 3D-printed rockets wouldn't be possible without the work of engineers such as David Scannapieco, Scientific Development Manager with NSL Analytical Services. As Scientific Development Manager, David works in formulating and testing new materials to ensure the highest manufacturing standards are met. David contributed to the Terran 1 rocket as a Graduate Student Researcher at the NASA Glenn Research Center through the development of the rocket's combustion chamber, a 3D printed part made from the GRCop-42 alloy in situ with laser powder bed fusion. David was recently honored by SME, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers in SME's 30 Under 30 program for his impact on manufacturing.Sponsored By:
