3D Printing Becomes Standard in Commercial Rocket Manufacturing for Mass Production of Core Engine Components
2026-07-10
·
Impact score: 60
According to Securities Times reports, leading commercial rocket companies such as LandSpace, Galactic Energy, Space Transportation, and Deep Blue Aerospace have widely adopted 3D printing technology to produce core engine components like thrust chambers and nozzles on a large scale. Listed companies including Farsoon Technologies and Bright Laser Technologies are taking the lead in the aerospace 3D printing sector, while multiple publicly traded firms are expanding into related businesses through mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures. In workshops of 3D printing service providers like FalconTech, large-scale laser printers are producing components nearly one meter in diameter for well-known domestic commercial aerospace companies. Despite rapid industry growth, challenges remain, including high costs of premium consumables and equipment depreciation, as well as a lack of unified industry standards. According to the "2026 China Commercial Aerospace 3D Printing Technology Development Blue Book," the domestic commercial aerospace 3D printing market is projected to exceed 15 billion yuan by 2027 and surpass 30 billion yuan by 2030.
