Researchers at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI) are developing 3D-printed dark ceramics that could be used in America’s hypersonic missiles and aircraft. These advanced materials are known for their exceptional strength and ability to withstand high-stress conditions, making them ideal for hypersonic platforms. By employing digital light processing (DLP) technology, the team can create finely detailed and accurately shaped ceramic components optimized for durability and thermal resistance.
