3D 打印推進劑系統
Chromatic 3D Materials 開設其 Camp Ripley 測試場地
Chromatic 3D Materials 在明尼蘇達州 Little Falls 的 Camp Ripley 設立試射基地，展開一項為期五年的計劃，驗證 3D 打印推進劑技術，內容包括實彈試射及現場開發工作。是次計劃透過 Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub: Minnesota 安排，將 Chromatic 與 LEMA 及美國陸軍工程兵團等合作夥伴聯繫起來。
公司將測試多種推進配方，並探索將其物料用於輔助動力系統，研究以太陽能驅動、離網式推進劑生產，以及低成本彈性體製造技術。Chromatic 表示，其源自 RX AM 的製程及相對低成本的機器，旨在為固體火箭發動機實現更快速的迭代及可擴展的物料系統。
對軍事及工業用戶而言，這項技術有助縮短開發週期，並提升戰術推進及動力方案的生產彈性。這個位於軍事基地內的設施，為 Chromatic 提供一個受監管的環境，用以驗證規模化生產及安全性，呼應分散式、快速國防製造這股更廣泛的趨勢。
英文原文
Chromatic 3D Materials opened a test-firing site at Camp Ripley in Little Falls, Minnesota, launching a five-year program to validate 3D-printed propellant technologies, featuring live-fire trials and on-site development. The rollout was arranged through the Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub: Minnesota and pairs Chromatic with partners including LEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The company will test propulsion formulations and explore using its materials for auxiliary power, investigating solar-driven, off-grid propellant production and low-cost elastomeric manufacturing. Chromatic said its RX AM-derived processes and relatively low-cost machines aim to enable faster iteration and scalable material systems for solid rocket motors.
For military and industrial users this could shorten development cycles and increase production flexibility for tactical propulsion and power solutions. The on-base facility gives Chromatic a regulated environment to prove manufacturability and safety at scale, aligning with broader trends in distributed, rapid defense manufacturing.
