Single-Piece 3D-Printed Rocket Engine: Agnikul’s ‘Agnite’
Agnikul Cosmos, an Indian space start-up, has achieved a major milestone by successfully testing ‘Agnite’, described as the world’s largest single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine. The development is significant because rocket engines are traditionally complex systems made of multiple parts, joints, and welds, which increase production time, cost, and possible points of failure. By printing the engine as a single unit, Agnikul has reduced structural complexity and improved reliability.
