Proteus Space and NASA JPL have successfully demonstrated the JPL Additive Compliant Canister (JACC) in orbit aboard the M1 satellite. This monolithic titanium structure, printed with Ti-6Al-4V on an EOS M290, achieves a 3x reduction in part count by integrating hinges and springs into one piece. Weighing under 500 grams, the system utilizes flexible compliant mechanisms to eliminate traditional bearing failure points. This milestone proves that monolithic additive architectures can slash aerospace design-to-flight cycles to under one year. 🚀 #3DPrinting #Aerospace #NASA #SpaceTech #AdditiveManufacturing
