Unreasonable Rocket's 3d Printed Rocket Engine Takes Flight!
My two passions are Rocketry and 3d Printing. Paul Breed has combined the 2 in his test flight of a 3d printed stainless steel rocket engine.
To my knowledge this is the 1st successfully flown liquid fueled 3d printed rocket engine.
Paul Breed has a wonderful blog over at http://unreasonablerocket.blogspot.com/, you should really check it out, a lot of his issues with his 3d printed Rocket engine dovetail with issues we will run into as we use our parts for higher temp/pressure applications.

I was there and filmed it.
He did not fly the printed engine. The rocket you saw fly was a solid for testing GPS systems. The printed engine was run for 2 minutes on a stand.

You have to go back to 2010 to see some of the pictures of the printed engine. Try July 2010 and September 2010 to start.
