LEAP 71 and HBD have produced the XRA-2E5, the world largest 3D printed aerospike engine delivering 200 kN of thrust. Standing 1 meter tall, this Inconel 718 methalox engine was manufactured as a single piece on a 10-laser HBD-1500 system. The shift from manual CAD to Noyron computational models allowed for the rapid design of complex regenerative cooling. This tech enables altitude-compensating efficiency for reusable rockets, drastically accelerating aerospace development cycles. #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #3DPrinting
