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

Yep this is the closest other project. Though I would be remiss to not mention that Tethers is much farther behind compared to Redwire.

Not the same thing, though I love what Relativity is doing. Their stargate technology has yet to even be tested in microgravity.

I can direct you to some great information if you want. They have already done extensive testing at various different NASA testing centers as well as simulated micro gravity setting testing.
