Stratasys Ltd., a global leader in applied additive technology solutions, and Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies, Inc. (PADT) jointly announced the companies are teaming with Lockheed Martin Space to deliver next-generation 3D printed parts for NASA’s Orion deep-space spacecraft. Key to the project are Stratasys materials – including an ESD variant of the new Antero 800NA, a PEKK-based thermoplastic offering high performance mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties.
This 3-D printed Orion docking hatch cover is made of Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), an advanced thermoplastic with electro-static dissipative capabilities. PEKK makes the hatch more affordable and faster to produce.
“猎户座”是美国宇航局的航天飞机,可以发送astronauts to the Moon and beyond. Orion’s next test flight, dubbed Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), will be the first integration mission with the world’s most powerful rocket, the Space Launch System, where an un-crewed Orion will fly thousands of miles beyond the Moon during an approximately three week mission.
接下来的飞行EM-2也将靠近月球，但是随着船上的登机，这是自1972年以来的首次船，并将使NASA为在深空中日益复杂的任务做准备。该任务将与洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin），Stratasys和Padt一起设计，将在船上使用100多个印刷生产零件。
The production-grade, thermoplastic 3D printed parts for NASA’s Orion vehicle are produced at the Additive Manufacturing Lab at Lockheed Martin in conjunction with PADT, which uses the latest in Stratasys 3D printers and materials. Using materials such as ULTEM 9085 resin and the new Antero material incorporating critical electro-static dissipative (ESD) functionality – NASA could meet key requirements for 3D printed parts to perform in the extremes of deep space. Antero is suited to meet NASA’s requirements for heat and chemical resistance, along with the ability to withstand high mechanical loads.
洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）是最早利用Stratasys的Antero材料的客户之一，它是一种基于PEKK的热塑性，具有先进的机械，化学和热特性。
“Working with PADT, Stratasys, and NASA has enabled us to achieve highly consistent builds that move beyond the realm of prototyping and into production,” said Brian Kaplun, Manager of Additive Manufacturing at Lockheed Martin Space. “We’re not just creating parts, we’re reshaping our production strategy to make spacecraft more affordable and faster to produce.”
洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin），Stratasys和PADT工程合作的区别在于在整个增材制造部分生产过程中创建一致性和重复性的能力。洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）也是最早利用Stratasys的Antero的客户之一，它使用热塑性塑料制作了位于Orion停靠舱口外的关键部分。该复杂部件由六个单独的3D打印组件组成，锁定在一起，在工艺品外部形成戒指。
“太空旅行的需求需要极高的性能材料和行业中最严格的制造过程。部分完整性和可重复性至关重要，必须通过NASA的苛刻测试和验证过程。” Stratasys制造业副总裁Scott Sevcik说。“基于数十年的经验，为航空航天行业的领导者提供了强大而轻巧的增材制造解决方案，Stratasys Technology适合与太空探索中生产零件所需的高可靠性制造工艺相匹配。”
