Read MoreRAM3D: Transforming Aerospace by Metal 3D Printing for Satellite Propulsion
We are transforming aerospace by metal 3D printing lighter, efficient propulsion for satellites. Metal 3D printing enables the creation of complex thrusters and fuel tank parts with previously impossible geometries, achieving significant mass reduction and boosting satellite efficiency. Propulsion is absolutely crucial for space satellites; without it, they wouldn’t reach their intended orbits. Once a…
Read MoreRAM3D: Partnering in Mission-Critical Aerospace with 3D Printing
Metal 3D printing is revolutionising the space industry by enabling the creation of lighter, stronger, and more efficient parts with complex geometries. This technology will play an even bigger role in future space exploration endeavours. We have incorporated approximately 8,000 of our metal 3D printed aerospace components into spacecraft to date. On a yearly basis…
Read MoreBoosting output: RAM3D gears up with machine #12
When we moved into our new premises in 2016, we had a vision of what we wanted to accomplish. To provide a state-of-the-art metal 3D printing service, offering advice on design, prototyping and full-scale production. Back then, we had just 4 additive manufacturing (AM) machines. Over the subsequent years, we had to contend with a…
Read MoreThe RAM3D Guide to Metal 3D Printing
Metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has revolutionised the way industries manufacture and design their products. By creating intricate, strong, and lightweight components, this innovative technology has opened up new possibilities and advantages for various sectors. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of metal 3D printing and discover how it has…
Read MoreSuccessful Collaboration with Autodesk and Peter Rogers!
Issues with current software: The software we were using in late 2019 didn’t allow us to create and manufacture the way we needed. Our Workshop Manager knew Peter Rogers from Autodesk and contacted him to ask his advice. The Solution: Fusion 360 with Netfabb® software offers a complete toolset for design and implementation for additive…
Read MoreHeat Treatments and what they are used for
One of the additional services we offer is heat treatment. Heat treatments are used to increase hardness, temperature resistance, strength & ductility. The metals we print can be treated in the same way as machined parts. This means if there is a specific heat treatment you require, it is likely we can offer that on-site. …

Phil designed these Inconel 718 aerospike engines for Land Forces 2021. In addition to the defence samples we already have, we wanted to have some aerospace samples so we can show some design concepts. The purpose of this international expo was to showcase equipment, technology, and services for the armies of Australia and the Indo-Asia-Pacific.…
