We Have Liftoff: Get to Orbit Faster with Metal 3D Printing

Whitepaper

The space industry is booming. In the last five years, more objects have been launched into orbit than in the past three decades combined. Helping to drive this growth is the increased availability of modern metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology.

Traditionally, the space industry has been dominated by governments, aerospace, and defense contractors. However, a growing number of NewSpace organizations are now entering the market, leveraging today’s most advanced AM technology to achieve unprecedented innovation.

This whitepaper explores how Velo3D is helping today’s most innovative and influential space companies.

Key Learnings

Get to space in months instead of years and reach orbit more quickly with an AM solution that provides greater manufacturing flexibility and reduces time to market

Maximize performance and manufacture high-quality parts with greater design freedom than conventional manufacturing technologies

Call upon a broader, more trusted range of materials to support space exploration by working with organizations like NASA to build broader industry-wide material characterization
