In-Space Manufacturing

One of the biggest advances in technology needed to truly expand humanity into the Solar System will be efficient and cost-effective manufacturing while in space.

Made in Space seems to be taking the lead with their 3D printing tech onboard the ISS, and joins a growing list of companies (through their Archinaut service) looking to create manufacturing capability while in a vacuum with a variety of materials, including fiber optics.

There are many, but here are some lesser-known early-stage companies and services striving to achieve this:

  • FOMS - Producing high-quality optical fibers in Space.
  • Flawless Photonics - Microgravity exotic fiber manufacturing
  • Firmamentum - Developing tech for in-space manufacturing of satellites and satellite components
  • Orbital Assembly - Forming the first turn-key space construction company
