Derek Muller (AKA YouTuber Veritasium) visited a private aerospace startup company called Relativity Space that is 3D printing an entire orbital rocket, including fuel tanks and rocket engines, in just 60 days.
To achieve this gargantuan task, Relativity Space built the world's largest metal 3D printer. But why use 3D printing in the first place?
According to the company, 3D printed rockets have 100 times fewer parts, 10 times faster production time with no fixed tooling necessary.
The 3D printing process sure looks awesome! Take a look at the full clip below:
