Satellite Applications Catapult purchases MetalFAB1 system Aerospace
With the new Cornwall Space Port and a growing number of space-bound projects (including Virgin Galactic), the UK is becoming a key hub for space exploration and tourism. Now the Satellite Applications Catapult, a UK-based technology and innovation company, is contributing to the space ecosystem’s growth by installing a new MetalFAB1 system from Additive Industries, as part of an investment from the Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership, through the Getting Building Fund. The machine will be installed at the Satellite Applications Catapult’s Disruptive Innovation for Space Centre (DISC) at Westcott Venture Park where it will be available for UK companies to use from July 2021.
