CAS Space has successfully validated laser wire-feed metal additive manufacturing during a recent suborbital flight test. The payload confirmed that wire-DED processes maintain melt pool stability under microgravity without the containment risks associated with powder systems. This capability enables on-orbit fabrication and repair of large structural components, potentially slashing deep-space logistics costs by over 50%. We are moving toward a future where missions launch raw materials rather than bulky spares. 🚀🛰️ #3DPrinting #SpaceTech #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #CASSpace
