Advanced energetics firm invests in large-format additive manufacturing systems to accelerate 3D-printed energetics and strengthen the U.S. industrial base.
Firehawk Aerospace has entered into a strategic partnership with JuggerBot 3D, a US-based manufacturer of large-format 3D printers, to accelerate the development and delivery of next-generation solid rocket motors powered by additively manufactured propellant. This partnership will further enable the rapid production of innovative and critical components to help meet the growing need for agile manufacturing capabilities and next-generation, high-performance flight systems.
The partnership brings together Firehawk’s rapid, safe, and cost-effective energetics production methods and JuggerBot 3D’s leadership in large-format 3D printing to streamline the manufacturing of complex fuel grains. Additive manufacturing of solid rocket propellant represents a transformative leap in defense readiness, enabling faster, more flexible, and cost-effective production of high-performance munitions. Unlike traditional cast-and-cure methods, 3D printing allows for increased performance, highly customized grain geometries, improved reliability, reduced waste, and the
Under the agreement, Firehawk will integrate multiple JuggerBot 3D Tradesman Series P3-44 systems, with options for containerized and custom configurations tailored to mission-specific needs. Both Firehawk Aerospace and JuggerBot 3D remain dedicated to strengthening the United States defense industrial base, with all manufacturing proudly Made in America.
