NASA JPL successfully deployed the JPL Additive Compliant Canister (JACC) in orbit aboard the Mercury One satellite.

Originally reported by 3DNatives

NASA JPL successfully deployed the JPL Additive Compliant Canister (JACC) in orbit aboard the Mercury One satellite. This monolithic titanium spring consolidates five mechanical parts into a single 498g structure, reducing component count by 3x. This mission validates that 3D-printed compliant mechanisms can replace complex assemblies while slashing development cycles to under one year. It signals a major shift toward simplified, lubricant-free space hardware for rapid mission delivery. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #NASA #3DPrinting #SpaceTech
