New process for 3D printing ceramics allows the ceramics to withstand up to 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit without deforming. Perfect for space travel! via fastcodesign.com
Because they are strong, light, and heat-resistant, ceramics are an incredibly important material for aerospace applications, such as hypersonic jets and space shuttles. That’s why 3-D printing ceramics could be useful for companies designing aerospace precision parts like Boeing, Space X, and NASA. Except for one problem: 3-D printed ceramics aren’t tough enough to go to space. But a new material design innovation may have just put that problem in the past.
