Wipro 3D and ISRO joined hands for sustainable space exploration through additive manufacturing.
Wipro 3D in association with ISRO achieved a milestone in space technology with the successful manufacturing of the PS4 3D-printed rocket engine.
The PS4 3D-printed rocket engine powers the 4th stage of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
The PS4 engine was being traditionally manufactured through conventional machining and welding.
It has been redesigned through Additive Manufacturing technology.
Wipro 3D and ISRO used Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology to consolidate the multiple and diversified into a single unified production unit.
The 3D-printed PS4 engine has been developed with minimal material waste and post-print machining operations.
ISRO’s adoption of additive manufacturing offers superior precision, minimal resource utilization, and significant reductions in material wastage.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is used to place earth observation and scientific satellites.
