VulcanForms additively manufactures 2 kN rocket thruster designed by LEAP 71’s Noyron AI software
May 13, 2025
VulcanForms, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, USA, reports it has produced the first test parts for a 2 kN rocket thruster using its GEN 3 Additive Manufacturing machine. The thruster was designed by LEAP 71, a Dubai-based developer of AI-driven engineering technology, using its Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model.

The Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model autonomously generates manufacturable designs directly, without the need for manual build preparation. The AI software, developed by LEAP 71, continues to grow in capability through insights gained from designing and manufacturing highly elaborate machinery.
VulcanForms, founded in 2015, manufactures precision metal parts using a combination of additive and subtractive technologies within a single production platform. The company uses a proprietary laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machine integrated with machining, robotics and post-processing equipment.
“It’s great to collaborate with companies that have been advancing serial digital production for over a decade. And all the feedback feeds right back into Noyron,” stated LEAP 71 on LinkedIn.
“These parts mark another step toward industrial-scale Additive Manufacturing,” commented VulcanForms.
