Purdue University, a leading research institution, was awarded a $212,555.88 contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a new additive manufacturing (AM) technology capable of printing heterogeneous materials with high solids loadings. This is a revolutionary advancement, as it will enable the printing of propellants previously considered unprintable, allowing for the creation of unique geometries that can improve propellant burning rates. The contract involves characterizing system properties and material printability, testing mechanical integrity, and printing compatible propellants into functionally graded geometries to evaluate burning rate effects. Promising geometries will be scaled up and tested in small rocket motors. This contract aims to advance propulsion system performance and reduce production time and costs, supporting NASA's mission in space exploration.
