The three-dimensional printing company Stratasys and Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies have teamed with Lockheed Martin Space Systems to make 3-D printed parts for NASA’s Orion deep-space spacecraft. The work will use Stratasys advanced materials, including a type of polyetherketoneketone. PEKK was selected because its high-performance mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties are needed in deep space. An Orion flight, planned with astronauts aboard, will use more than 100 3-D printed parts.
