RAMPT - Optimized and Repeatable Components in Additive-manufacturing (RAMPT-ORCA)

Completed NASA Game Changing Development project led by Marshall Space Flight Center that matured repeatable additive manufacturing for high-payoff liquid-rocket components. ORCA advanced post-processing, extreme-temperature and oxygen-compatible alloys, digital process models, and residual-stress control for chambers, injectors, nozzles, turbomachinery, lunar landers, boosters, commercial engines, and nuclear-thermal propulsion.
