I lead a team of 6 people in the AerospaceNU Rocket-Airframe that designed and high-power rocket made primarily from PLA filment. The goal for the project was to have a modular rocket with easy-access to internal components, that can be cheaply and quickly produced. The rocket would also feature aluminum rods and wooden plates to keep from collapsing under the impulse of the L1 and L2 rocket motors it was designed to handle.

After coming up with a design, we created a proof-of-concept model of the ejection-bay, which is a pressurized section of the rocket that must withstand and contain a black-poweder explosion, and safely eject away a panel. After several months of iteration, we were successful in demonstrating that this section could survive the explosion while being 100% PLA.
