University students surpass NASA, successfully launching missiles with 100% 3D printing engines

Not an expert, a group of American university students fired a powerful cannon against NASA.

Last Saturday, a group of students at the University of California successfully launched a rocket with an engine printed entirely from 3D printers . This group of students who are studying Exploration and Development is proud to announce the first group of universities to achieve the above achievements.

The engine uses frozen fuel combining liquid oxygen and refined oil.

The rocket of the Vulcan-1 student group, 5.7 meters long, has a diameter of 0.2 meters and has a thrust of 340kg. The engine uses frozen fuel combining liquid oxygen and refined oil. After leaving the missile launcher, it moved about 1,219 meters.

NASA has been studying 3D printing engines for a long time. Last winter, they conducted a test of some 3D printing components. Private rocket research companies are also interested in 3D printed missile components. In 2014, SpaceX's Falcon 9 launched with a 3D print valve. But this is the first time in history that a rocket has been completely created by 3D printing components because students have been successfully launched.

Students create and launch the world's first 3D print rocket.

However, this is just the first step, to launch missiles into space the students have a lot of work to do.
