I led the design team for the CrCop-42 3D-printed regeneratively cooled thrust chamber, engineered to mount onto an additively manufactured (though unprinted) fuel injector. This thrust chamber serves as a powerful demonstration of how additive manufacturing enables engineers to create highly complex designs. Despite the copper alloy’s melting point being significantly lower than the extreme temperatures within the thrust chamber, the structure is kept intact by circulating cryogenic fuels through the chamber walls, effectively preventing overheating and showcasing the potential of advanced cooling methods in high-stress environments.
