NordSpace is pleased to announce a groundbreaking Canada-Germany R&D collaboration and funding towards medium-lift rocket engine development with Fraunhofer ILT, receiving advisory services and up to $335,000 from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). This collaboration will support a research and development project that will advance our large format multi-material additive manufacturing capabilities for medium-lift rocket engines. This collaboration between NordSpace, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology, and SWMS (Systemtechnik Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH) builds upon the recent launch of our Advanced Manufacturing for Aerospace Lab (AMA Lab), and marks an important step toward our ongoing efforts to advance orbital launch vehicles that are fully scalable from light to medium-lift payload capacities. NordSpace's Tundra and Tundra+ light lift vehicles, capable of 500 kg and 1,100 kg to LEO respectively, are being designed specifically to scale to the medium-lift Titan vehicle (5,000 kg+ to LEO) by the early 2030s. This advanced manufacturing project for space propulsion harnesses breakthrough methods such as large volume, high-speed, high-resolution, multi-metal deposition to optimize rocket engine design, fabrication, and testing. NordSpace will partner with Fraunhofer ILT – the German research institute that has developed the world-leading EHLA laser-based high-speed additive manufacturing capability, and SWMS – the German company that has developed the CAESA software for AI-powered advanced manufacturing path planning optimization. This collaborative project will support NordSpace in developing next-generation, large-scale, regeneratively cooled liquid engines, validated through rigorous hot-fire test campaigns and positioned for flight qualification and commercial scale-up. This announcement builds on NordSpace’s AMA Lab launched earlier this year with Ontario Centre of Innovation support and another advanced manufacturing project that received funding from the Canadian Space Agency. The AMA Lab has already accelerated the design of our 3D-printed Hadfield engines and enhanced development cycles through AI-driven design methodologies and direct validation at our test range. Now, this new Canada-Germany collaborative R&D project will go further into efficient production methods for these advanced rocket engines. We will also present updates on this initiative at the Canadian Space Launch Conference on May 5, 2026 in Ottawa.

Supportless, free-form 3D printing! ⛓️ By using low-melting-point Fields' metal and shaping it through surface tension, this process can create highly conductive 3D structures in a single pass, no supports, no post-processing. Pretty interesting way of thinking about additive manufacturing, especially for electronics and functional metal parts. Just wow. I only know this is from Singapore, anyone has more information about them? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

We recently got an exclusive look at the Hyliion Karno generator and the advanced additive manufacturing process behind it. This isn’t just any generator — the Karno is a fuel-agnostic, highly efficient solution that uses a linear heat generator to produce electricity with fewer moving parts and lower emissions.

There are a few misconceptions about Machina. I am gonna clarify in this thread: 1. “Machina makes Roboforming machines.” Partially true. But that’s like saying Apple makes keyboards. We make the Robocraftsman. A robotic manufacturing platform designed to perform many manufacturing operations with minimal or ideally zero geometry and material specific tooling. We started with forming. Roboforming Today the system also does: - trimming - hole making - slotting - QC/inspection And we’re will be adding: - heat treatment - forging - assembly - additive - and more. The long term goal is simple: One robotic platform. Many operations. Software defined manufacturing.

At the $TSlA Shareholders Q&A, Musk said it will be very hard to make the lame-named CyberTruck affordable because of new manufacturing methods and costs associated with a completely new vehicle. Yet another sign he didn’t think this through when he unveiled it in 2019.

Shane Wighton, from the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, used 3D-printed tooling to form a sheet metal component as part of a concept validation process. Metal manufacturing is essential for all areas of the economy. Because of their strength, stiffness, and long-term durability, metal components are used in applications from appliances to construction parts and car body panels. Traditional metal manufacturing techniques include forming, casting, molding, joining, and machining. Sheet metal forming involves various processes where force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to plastically deform the material into the desired shape, modifying its geometry rather than removing any material. Sheet metals can be bent or stretched into a variety of complex shapes, permitting the creation of complex structures with great strength and a minimum amount of material. Sheet metal forming is the most cost-effective forming procedure today for manufacturing parts in large quantities. It can be highly automated in factories or, at the other end of the spectrum, manually operated in metal workshops for small series parts. It is a versatile, consistent, and high-quality procedure to create accurate metal parts with limited material waste. From metal cans to protective housing for hardware, parts created by sheet metal forming are found everywhere in our daily lives. In this article, learn the basics of sheet metals, the various sheet metal forming processes, and how to reduce the cost of sheet metal forming with rapid tooling and 3D printed dies. For a detailed overview and the step-by-step method, watch our webinar or download our white paper: Research conducted by Shane Wighton.

Do you call it 4D printing, if the platform moves as well 🤔 3D printing just got a serious upgrade A new five-axis printer can handle 70° overhangs, no support structures needed. This breaks traditional limitations and opens the door to more complex, curved designs. Perfect for engineers and designers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Exciting times for the future of additive manufacturing.

Printing metal made easy! 🖊️ Most metal 3D printing today relies on heat. Lasers or electron beams melt metal powder or wire, fuse it, and let it solidify again. That works, but it’s inefficient: a lot of energy is lost before it ever reaches the material, and even more is wasted as heat dissipates into the surroundings. This work explores a very different idea. Instead of melting metal, it uses high-frequency, low-amplitude mechanical vibrations to temporarily lower a metal’s yield stress and enhance atomic diffusion. Under these conditions, metal can be shaped and joined without full melting. By combining shaping and joining at the same time, the researchers introduce a new additive manufacturing process called Resonance-Assisted Deposition (RAD). Because it avoids melt–solidification, RAD is far more energy-efficient and enables things that are difficult or impossible with conventional methods. Pretty cool method!

I want to hear all the competing theses for how manufacturing happens in space. My current view: The first thing we'll manufacture in space won't be spacecraft. It'll be hydrocarbons. We need fuel and food. Survival before sophistication. For a long time, most hardware will still be shipped from Earth. Manufacturing will mostly mean repair, maintenance, and replacement of spare parts by astronauts maybe robots. 1000s of Starships leaving with lots of spare parts every 18 month. So the real challenge isn't producing known parts. It's dealing with the unexpected. Every settlement, station, ship, or habitat will eventually break in ways nobody predicted. New missions will create needs nobody anticipated. Waiting months for a launch window is not a viable supply chain. That implies, space manufacturing cannot begin with giant, specialized factories. It starts with highly versatile systems capable of making many different things from limited feedstocks. Multi-purpose robots. Flexible. General-purpose manufacturing cells. In other words, the opposite of most factories today. My bet is that space manufacturing evolves as a network of distributed robotic job shops and microfactories, not monolithic production plants. The manufacturing systems that win early because they can repair the unexpected will become the industrial legacy of space. When demand eventually grows large enough for mass production, those flexible systems will already be everywhere so that is the paradigm that will scale to large volumes. What's the strongest argument against this?

Magomed needs to have one fight in between, for example Jiri. That would be a great stepping stone for the next title shot." (Via MMAArena)

I welcome the commitment from the British government that it will now begin the process of repealing the Tories’ shameful Legacy Act. This cruel legislation failed victims & families, & we will now engage with the new government to see what their approach will be. Sinn Féin will continue to stand with families in their dignified campaign for truth & justice.
