Additive manufacturing enables ultra-efficient and cost-effective production of power units for satellites or other load capacities. The option to produce components from niobium means they can be used in extreme temperature ranges from -150°C to > 1000°C. The company Agile Space Industries uses the TruPrint 2000 for the 3D printing of thrust nozzles, saving on material and weight. 3D printing is particularly sustainable in terms of rare raw materials and expensive alloys. Satellites use thrust nozzles to align and maintain their position, landers use them during touchdown and rockets deploy them to adjust their flight direction.
