3D Systems shares its new capability in GrCop 42, a high conductivity, high-strength dispersion strengthened copper alloy for use in high heat flux applications such as liquid rocket engine combustion devices. This is their full-size thruster demo that will be on display at Formnext. Designed by Evan Kuester, Ryan Fishel, Cameron Schmidt, Patrick Dunne and Aaron Schmitz - MSME and printed right the first time by the team at our AS 9100 facility in Littleton Colorado. Come see 3D Systems' copper family capability at Formnext - Where ideas take shape in Hall 11.1 Booth #D11
