As <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2017\/04\/11\/3d-printing-norsk-boeing-dreamliner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune<\/a> reports, 3D printing titanium parts for Boeing&#8217;s\u00a0costly 787 Dreamliner will save literally tons of weight and up to $3 million in cost\u00a0per plane. Boeing&#8217;s main competitor, Airbus, uses 3D printed brackets on its double-deck A380. Airbus\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/171292\/3d-print-hydraulic-aircraft-part\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently<\/a> successfully tested a\u00a03D printed spoiler actuator valve block, a critical flight control hydraulic component.<\/p>\n<p>Spaceships are also increasingly relying on metal 3D printing. NASA has 3D printed entire rocket engines. Scientists at\u00a0NASA&#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) created a 3D printed metal fabric to protect both astronauts and spacecraft from micrometeors. As <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/171717\/nasa-jpl-3d-printed-space-fabric\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3DPrint.com<\/a> reports, the chainmail-like textile, which is printed in one piece, reflects sunlight, provides thermal insulation, is foldable, and has high tensile strength.<\/p>\n<p>Facial reconstructive surgery has benefitted from 3D metal printing.

The Google-backed company raised $97 million in 18 months. Their $50,000 in-office printer (and $60,000\u00a0furnace) ship in September, while their $360,000 production-scale printer is set for a 2018 release.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vadersystems.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vader Systems<\/a> MK1 Experimental desktop metal 3D printer, meanwhile, uses their MagnetoJet technology to propel liquified aluminum\u00a0from an electromagnetic-field-encased 1,200\u00b0 C chamber through inkjet-like print nozzles.
