NASA to put 3D PEKK in space
Additive manufacturing firm Stratasys and Phoenix Analysis & Design Technolo- gies, an engineering services company, have joined with Lockheed Martin Space to deliver 3D printed
parts for NASA. The project will use the newly launched Stratasys Antero 800NA PEKK resin to produce six 3D-printed components that lock together to form a ring used
in a critical component on Orion’s docking hatch (pictured). A special electro- static dissipative Antero grade will be used. Other parts will be produced in the company’s Ultem 9085 resin. Orion is NASA’s deep- space spacecraft, for which two missions are currently planned. The first will be unmanned and will travel beyond the moon, while the second will have astronauts on board and will travel close to the moon in preparation for more complex future missions. The mission will have more than 100 3D-printed production parts on board. �
