The YF-75DA engine propelled the Changbajia rocket into its first flight successfully, and Falcontech’s 3D printing technology assisted the flight!

As a leading domestic metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) solution provider, Falcontech has undertaken the task of 3D printing part of the YF-75DA engine structure. Additive manufacturing technology provides greater possibilities for the advanced design of aerospace engines. Integrated, lightweight, personalized, and rapid iterative updates are in line with the rapid development trend of today's aerospace products. Liquid rocket-related parts have the characteristics of small batches, multiple varieties, complex structures, high demand for integrated molding, high degree of topology optimization, and high cost. Using additive manufacturing technology can break through the process limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing, reduce manufacturing technical problems caused by complex internal features and complex assembly integration, and at the same time reduce the number of connection operations such as splicing and welding and the number of parts.
