3D-printing homes is one thing, NASA successfully 3D-printed a superalloy that is not only 1,000-times more durable than standard alloys, but can withstand temperatures up to 2,000-degrees Fahrenheit. It’s called GRX-810 and essentially an oxide dispersion strengthened alloy, which means miniature particles containing oxygen atoms spread throughout the alloy enhance its strength.
This superalloy can be used to build aerospace parts for high-temperature applications, such as those found inside aircraft as well as rocket engines. It is because they can withstand harsher conditions before reaching their breaking points. The GRX-810 superalloy was developed under NASA’s Transformational Tools and Technologies project. Support was also received from the agency’s Game Changing Development Program.

This new alloy is a major achievement. In the very near future, it may well be one of the most successful technology patents NASA Glenn has ever produced,” said Dale Hopkins, deputy project manager of NASA’s Transformational Tools and Technologies project.
