With the spirit of the space race living on in the private sector’s innovative drive towards the stars, engineering company LEAP 71 and spacecraft manufacturer The Exploration Company recently announced a partnership to accelerate space exploration. The two companies want to develop more efficient calculation and manufacturing models for designing space vehicles.
In order to achieve this, they are using a combination of artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing. LEAP 71 has developed a computational engineering model that enables it to design complex, high-performance rocket engines that can then be 3D printed. By combining AI and additive manufacturing, the two partners hope to not only reduce production costs, but above all to accelerate innovation in the aerospace sector.
