Agnikul Cosmos on Tuesday said it has successfully fired its higher-stage semi cryogenic rocket engine -- Agnilet that has been completely 3D printed as a single component.

"This entire engine - Agnilet - is just one piece of hardware from start to finish and has zero assembled parts.

"We don't think anyone in the world has ever pushed 3D printing of a rocket engine to this extent and we couldn't be happier to have conceived, designed, realized and test fired this engine, fully in India," said Srinath Ravichandran, CEO and co-founder of Agnikul Cosmos.

Rocket engines usually have hundreds of parts in them, starting from injectors that inject fuel into the engine, to cooling channels to igniter for the propellants.

Agnilet was designed in such a manner so as to encapsulate all of these into just one piece of hardware and that automates the making of an entire engine.
