Italian Space Agency awards Sòphia High Tech the WURAM materials project
The Italian Space Agency awarded Sòphia High Tech the 24-month WURAM project to develop a custom copper-steel powder for additively manufactured propulsion hardware.
Evidence notes
- WURAM applies the POWMIX process to a custom steel and copper material blend.
- The project targets combustors, heat exchangers and propulsion components made by additive manufacturing.
- A chemical-propellant satellite thruster is planned as the process demonstrator.
