Australian additive manufacturing company Conflux Technology has partnered with Germany-based Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) to develop and manufacture 3D-printed aerospace heat exchangers. As part of the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars Initiative, this collaboration will receive AUD$1 million in grants from the Supply Chain Capacity Enhancement Grant Program.
The project aims to incorporate the Conflux heat exchanger into an orbital rocket gas duct, supporting Australian organizations involved in NASA’s mission to the Moon and Mars. Conflux Technology, known for its expertise in 3D printed thermal solutions and materials for extreme applications, is pleased to contribute to the growing space industry.
“Conflux is partnering with RFA to incorporate next-generation heat exchange technology into a rocket engine. We at Conflux are establishing ourselves as a leader in the development and commercialization of 3D printed thermal solutions and relevant materials for extreme applications,” said Dan Woodford, Business Director of Conflux Technology.
“With the support of the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars Grant Supply Chain Capacity Enhancement Grant, we are now applying it to the rapidly expanding space industry.”
Founded in 2018, Rocket Factory Augsburg’s mission is to enable business models of data generation in space that contribute to the monitoring, protection and connectivity of Earth. The partnership between Conflux and RFA demonstrates the potential for continued growth and innovation in the aerospace industry.
