Additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology is used to create a component by adapting layer by layer method. The adroitness of additive manufacturing in creating a complex geometry as a whole is very much harnessed by the aerospace Industry. Generating a component using additive manufacturing involves optimal design, methods, and processes. This review gives a broad knowledge in developing a part or product by choosing the appropriate design, method, and processes. The end-to-end flow process (from scratch to finished model) for developing a component by additive manufacturing is described with a detailed flow diagram. The flow process proposed in this review will act as a primary source for manufacturing any component as per the industry standards. Also, the role of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry is the need of the hour and greatly in demand of innovative ideas. But as an infant technology, AM for aerospace has its fair share of issues The paper discusses issues and challenges of AM for aerospace applications to enable the widespread adoption of additively manufactured components in the aerospace industry.

“…The orbiting process from GTO-GEO is then accomplished by an onboard chemical propulsion system [2]. However, it requires GEO spacecraft to carry a significant amount of fuel, which limits the size and mass of the payload [3]. GEO spacecraft has recently developed towards a high load-bearing ratio and long life.…”

This paper proposes an electric propulsion platform based on a triple orthogonal gimbaled thruster boom to realize the GTO-GEO transfer process. The adjustment mechanism of the gimbaled thruster boom significantly improves the range of thrust vector variation enhances the efficiency of thrust vector adjustment, and reduces the spacecraft burn-up. Additionally, to achieve the application performance, a planning allocation method based on the model prediction algorithm is proposed and verified through numerical simulation.

CubeSat and small satellites play a very important role in modern space exploration. Their success and diverse capabilities rely on the development of efficient and compact sub‐systems. This task is not trivial due to multiple challenges posed by their small size and mass, and the solution calls for conceptually new designs for the fabrication and integration of complex miniaturized satellite components. The importance of additive techniques in small satellite manufacturing is steadily increasing as they enable rapid, large‐scale production of sophisticated architectures, such as hollow, webbed parts with a cell‐like structure similar to animal bone, with lower mass and improved functionality. Moreover, these architectures feature higher strength, enhanced heat transfer, and efficient thermal and electromagnetic radiation shielding. When compared to traditional subtractive technologies like cutting and milling, additive manufacturing proves to be more versatile and effective in realizing architectures with an increasing intricacy of shapes, structures, and compositions. The perspective explores the suitability of 3D printing in various satellite production tasks, including the propulsion system components and satellite elements. Looking ahead, the challenges and advantages of integrating 3D printing technology into satellite production, emphasizing the need for continuous development through consolidated, proactive collaborative efforts of many devoted teams are outlined.
