Deep Space Industries (DSI) and Solid Prototype have entered a partnership to enhance space craft design and production through 3D printing services targeted at reduced fabrication costs, decreased turnaround times and lighter structures.

Solid Prototype was the first stand-alone 3D printing service bureau in North America. This partnership will be at the forefront of bringing innovations to deep space, the company states.

“Solid Prototype’s technology services will enable Deep Space Industries to achieve the rapid turnaround and fast iteration that is crucial to bringing down the cost of space exploration,” said David Gump, vice chair, DSI. “We are intending, over time, to see how much of the contents of our spacecraft can become integrated with the structure, thereby reducing the mass required to reach a desired structural strength.”
