🇮🇳 #Gaganyaan #3Dprinted grid fins : In #powder-based technology, one can’t make big components, it’s restricted to 2-3 metres 📏. “The large size grid fins are made through Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (#EBAM) technology. The #3Dprinting 🖨️ of #titanium alloy components is done in a large size #vacuum chamber. A titanium alloy #wire is used as the feedstock or the input material and an electron #beam ⚡ melts it and deposits layer by layer until the whole part is built on a substrate plate of the same material” https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/theres-a-3d-touch-in-indias-space-odyssey/articleshow/97959028.cms
