Additive manufacturing makes the Mako a scalable, cost-effective hypersonic weapon that allows for salvo fires, unlike weapons such as the Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal or the US's AGM-183 ARRW.

For the production of only a few scramjet engines, say for a small fleet of hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft, then the cost and time savings of additive manufacturing probably wouldn’t be that ...

and surface tension and utilize the data for applications such as hypersonic flight or high-temperature manufacturing, the press release added. Representative stock image of ceramic materials ...

The race for hypersonic weapons is on ... Digital engineering and additive manufacturing reduce costs and increase production efficiency, meaning that more units can conceivably be built.
