How to Build the Better Fuel Tank, Fast!

How to Build the Better Fuel Tank, Fast!

When designing metal pressure vessels (like gas tanks) for high value vehicles (satellites, rockets), designers focus on a few key points. Obviously, they need to maximize strength and minimize weight but, it is also common that they need to conform to tight packaging...

Next Generation Heat Exchanger Design

Anywhere you find oil, fuel, or electronics in a high-performance device, you are going to find a heat exchanger. To fully optimize heat exchanger design, engineers need to maximize the surface area that exists between the hot side and the cool side. This means that,...

Reimagining Turbomachinery Design

For Turbomachinery designers making parts that control flow, current MFG technologies limit the features and geometries that could improve performance. By changing or even eliminating the DfM restrictions on part design, you can finally achieve the performance that...

The Innovator’s Guide to Metal AM

Velo3D unlocks manufacturing for optimized designs that control the flow of fluids and the transfer of heat. These parts often feature complex internal geometries too difficult for conventional manufacturing. This forces engineers to compromise on performance to...
