3D printing materials for use in space
3D printed objects for NASA mission
Stratasys and Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies are working with Lockheed Martin Space to design 3D printed objects for NASA's Orion deep space probe. The project will focus on Stratasys materials, including an ESD variant of the new Antero 800NA, a PEKK-based thermoplastic with excellent mechanical, chemical and thermal properties.
The thermoplastic 3D printed parts for the spacecraft will be produced in Lockheed Martin's Additive Manufacturing Lab in collaboration with PADT, using Stratasys 3D printers and materials. Materials such as Ultem 9085 and Antero, which offers very good antistatic properties, meet NASA's key requirements such as temperature and chemical resistance for 3D printed parts for the extreme conditions of space. The solution is characterized by consistency and reproducibility in high-volume production across the entire manufacturing process of additively manufactured components. am
