Giant Satellite Fuel Tank Sets New Record for 3-D Printed Space Parts – Jul 11, 2018
Lockheed Martin has completed the final set of quality tests on a titanium cylinder built using 3D printing technology for satellite fuel storage, concluding a multiyear development project.
The fuel tank consists of two domes that function as caps, and a variable-length, traditionally-manufactured titanium cylinder that serves as the body, Lockheed said Wednesday.
