Test firing of a 3D-printed rocket engine designed through computational model
bai, June 18th, 2024 — for immediate release LEAP 71, a Dubai-based AI engineering company, announced today the successful test firing of a liquid rocket engine created entirely through Noyron, the company’s Large Computational Engineering Model. The engine was designed autonomously without human intervention and then 3D-printed in copper.
LEAP 71 works with customers all over the world, including the US, Korea, Europe, and China to design products in fields ranging from aerospace and electric mobility, to heat exchangers. LEAP 71 has open-sourced a significant part of the technology stack, including PicoGK(“peacock”), a compact and robust geometry kernel, that enables the creation of very complex physical objects. Initial analysis of the data show that the pressure drop (the resistance) of the cooling channels was higher than modeled, which is due to the actual surface roughness of the 3D print.
