Velo3D and Momentus will flight-test an additively manufactured fuel tank on the Vigoride-7 mission in early 2026. This technical milestone follows a 30 million dollar capital raise in late 2025 that secured 20 million dollars from a new institutional investor. This transition from prototyping to qualified hardware signals a maturing market where financial stability enables complex aerospace production. Standardizing AM for space-rated parts will define the next phase of orbital infrastructure. 🚀 #Velo3D #SpaceTech #AdditiveManufacturing #NewSpace #Aerospace
