The UK’s Ministry of Defense has worked with Alloyed to develop a 3D printed, UK-made turbojet engine. From idea to testing took seven months. The duo will make a family of turbojets for different platforms. They now want to scale up engine production and will use over 100 staff to do so.
The idea was to develop a “sovereign propulsion capability for future defense systems, strengthening the UK’s ability to design, manufacture, test and sustain critical defense capabilities independently and at scale, while delivering highly skilled jobs and boosting UK supply chains.” Wow, do you even speak American? This is just like the chorus of voices across the pond that are scaling up production of sovereign 3D printed military component solutions for missiles and drones. And I can’t be the only on
