Inside One of the UK’s Largest 3D‑Printed Thrust Chambers | Meter‑Scale PBF‑LB at the MTC

Ever wondered how far additive manufacturing can be pushed? Join Alex as he showcases one of the UK’s largest single‑piece PBF‑LB (Powder Bed Fusion – Laser Beam) components: a fully 3D‑printed Thrust Chamber produced at the MTC. This demonstrator was developed to deepen our understanding of meter‑scale PBF‑LB, exploring key technical areas such as: Multi‑laser strategies on a single, large part Real‑world distortion vs. simulation prediction Depowdering challenges on metre‑scale builds Post‑processing requirements for large AM components Iterative design optimisation at industrial scale This project forms part of an MTC Core Research Programme, delivered in collaboration with our members. The insights gained from this build are helping shape the future of large‑format additive manufacturing in the UK.
