Nearly five years after COVID-19 ground the world to a halt, the global supply chain still hasn't fully recovered. Specialty industries like space travel were particularly hard hit.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Industries began taking a long, hard look at 3D printing as a solution to such woes, as it can create specialty parts and decentralize manufacturing.
3D Printing as a Solution
Solideon, a rocket-printing service, has raised $6.5 million in funding to build robots for deployable microfactories that help 3D-print and assemble large aerospace structures.
Solideon's Approach
Solideon's long-term goal is to decentralize manufacturing and be able to build an entire product without human intervention, even on other planets.
