Overview
L3Harris has invested extensive time and resources for more than two decades to evolve additive manufacturing technology, also known as 3D printing, to meet the stringent requirements of rocket engine and defense systems applications. This investment is now paying dividends as we begin to incorporate the technology into production programs. 3D printing can significantly reduce lead times, make products more affordable, and enable new approaches to design that were not previously feasible. In particular, 3D printing has made a large impact on L3Harris' ability to deliver hypersonic flight.
