Reply to comment by bukbukbagok in NASA-funded, Redwire Space, wants to use 3D Printing and a robotic arm to print the components to construct large structures in orbit, and will demonstrate its tech in space in 2023. by lughnasadh
>> They’ve been 3D printing massive, space-bound structures for years.
Relativity Space, like several others, has used 3D printing to build parts for rockets on Earth.
3D printing has been tested onboard the ISS, but as far as I know no one has tested a 3D printer in orbit outside the ISS, as Redwire plans to do.

You're correct, Redwire was also the first company to do printing in Microgravity and the ISS so this is the logical next step for them
