NASA is offering a license to companies interested in commercializing its new additive manufacturing technology, Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC). This technology helps build rocket engine nozzles more affordably and reliably by creating and closing out intricate coolant channels. The process has been successfully hot-fire tested and can create bimetallic parts.
About this opportunity
NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Low-cost, large-scale liquid rocket engines with regeneratively cooled nozzles will enable reliable and reduced-cost access to space. Coolant, contained under high pressure, circulates through a bank of channels within the nozzle to properly cool the nozzle walls to withstand high temperatures and prevent failure. It has been a…
