3D printing spacecraft engine parts. Close-up of a prototype rocket engine part being made in a 3d printer that uses the process of selective laser melting. This process allows engineers to create complex,full-scale rocket-engine parts without welding. The use of 3D printing and prototyping technologies like this is critical to NASA's development of the Space Launch System,the next-generation rocket that will launch astronauts to more distant destinations than ever before.
