One of the most striking aspects of Kapoor’s rocket is its overall design, which ditches stability fins for thrust-vector controls using a 3D-printed gimbal mount.

Using a combination of 3D-printed and machined metal parts, Barnard also developed a way to control the amount of thrust produced by solid-fuel rocket engines, which don’t have an off switch ...

As you might have guessed, fins are used on rockets in order to keep them stable while in flight. At least in the case of model rockets and military ordinance.

If you’ve ever built a model rocket, ... both the nosecone and fins are plastic. Except here they’ve been 3D printed in either PLA or PETG depending on their proximity to he hot and fiery area ...

The model features the external tank, the solid rocket boosters and the orbiter, though the latter is missing its tail fin, which was present on all the space shuttles.

The first-ever 3D-printed rocket was scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Center on Wednesday night, but was scrubbed less than an hour before launch.

An almost fully 3D-printed rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral on Wednesday evening, but ultimately failed to reach orbit. Despite this, the Terran-1 passed key objectives and showed the ...

A rocket made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts made its debut launch Wednesday night, passing a critical milestone. But it failed after three minutes of flight, crashing into the ocean.

A rocket made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts made its launch debut Wednesday night, lifting off amid fanfare but failing three minutes into flight — far short of orbit.

Rocket builder Relativity Space has built a giant 3D-printing robot that could allow the company to build products besides the rockets it plans to launch, Relativity's chief executive said.
