In this whitepaper, we explore the ways in which advanced Metal 3D Printing enables innovation across the space sector.
In the last five years, humanity has launched more objects into orbit than in the past three decades combined1.
The increase in activity is the result of a booming space economy that has drawn massive interest from startups and innovation-driven organizations, resulting in a convergence of investment and ambition that is propelling the space industry to new heights.
What has traditionally been an almost insurmountable barrier to entry—and the sole province of governments, aerospace, and defense contractors—is now primarily being served by a small but growing cadre of companies building off the technical foundations of the original space industry, so much so that analysts believe the space industry could generate revenue of $1 trillion or more by 20402.
What is fueling this race to space? There are many factors: private investment and enterprise, modern software computing power, but perhaps the biggest driver to actually making these innovations lies in the unprecedented availability of modern metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology.
In this whitepaper, we explore the ways in which advanced metal AM technology enables innovation across the space sector. From improved part design to faster time-to-market, we share how Velo3D is helping today’s most innovative and influential space companies:
- Reach orbit quickly
- Increase their return on investment
- Produce the parts they need in days
- Get to space in months instead of years
