However, access to additive manufacturing equipment that has the capacity to build large p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s has to date remained prohibitively expensive for most UK SMEs. The Satellite Applications Catapult continues to remove the barriers to growth for the UK Space Industry by making this technology available to companies on a pay-as-you-go basis, working either with the Catapult\u2019s expert Manufacturing for Space team, or in an independent capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith The Satellite Applications Catapult, we added one of Europe\u2019s leading Space Technology Organisations to our focused list of companies. They are committed to bringing the benefits provided by our MetalFAB1, for example, best in class productivity, highest component quality, highest system reliability to satellite technologies in the UK, and potentially the entire European space sector, \u201d added Ian Howe, CEO of Additive Industries. \u201cSatellite Applications Catapult collaborates with hundreds of space companies throughout the world. They bring together multi-disciplinary teams to generate ideas and solutions in an open innovation <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a>,\u201d added Lars Ryberg, Director of Business Development UK &amp; Ireland. \u201cHaving a customer close to our UK &amp; Ireland Process and Application Centre will give us new opportunities for future collaborations.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"font-size: 16px;border-left: 4px solid #cdcdcd;border-radius: 4px;background-color: #f9f9f9;font-weight: 500;color: dimgrey\">\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 6px\">You might also like:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/wall-plug-inventor-rawplug-turns-to-sinterit-sls-3d-printing-to-boost-rd-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall plug inventor Rawplug turns to Sinterit SLS 3D printing to boost R&amp;D efficiency: <\/a>Today, wall plugs may seem fairly innocuous: every household has a few lying around and most will be using them to secure shelving or art to their walls.
