3D Systems and NASA Join Forces: Space Radiators Get a 3D Makeover!

In a groundbreaking collaboration, 3D Systems has teamed up with Penn State and Arizona State University to support NASA's research in thermal management using 3D printing technology. This initiative involves creating lightweight, efficient heat rejection radiators for space applications. By developing 3D-printed titanium radiators and nickel titanium shape memory alloys, the team achieved significant reductions in weight and improved operating temperatures—boons for space missions like those involving CubeSats. The tech's potential extends to industries such as automotive and high-performance computing.
