The Defense Innovation Unit successfully launched the DART AE, the first wholly 3D printed hypersonic platform, using Rocket Lab HASTE. This 3-meter testbed marks a shift from component printing to full-scale flight systems, bypassing wind tunnel bottlenecks for 70+ Pentagon programs. With AM Research projecting rocket engines as the top value driver by 2034, these low-cost platforms are essential for scaling defense production and global industrial collaboration. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #3DPrinting #DefenseTech
