INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Relativity Space is an LA-based startup which is another in a growing list of firms to truly innovate with large-scale 3D printing, although
worth of Series C funding towards its overarching aim of being the first company to launch an (almost) entirely 3D printed rocket into
devices in the world, the company claims, and as Wired reports, the first version of Stargate is 15 feet tall and has three robotic arms
used to weld metal (supplied by miles of thin custom-produced aluminum alloy wire).Stargate produces all the large parts needed for the
rocket, with standard commercially available metal 3D printers used for the smaller bits and pieces which require more precision.The first
being to manufacture it from raw material to launch-ready in under 60 days.Terran 1 will have a payload capacity of up to 1,250kg and will
be capable of launching mid-sized satellites
Commercial launches are expected to begin in 2021, and the firm already has contracts with the likes of Telesat and mu Space.Looking further
out, Relativity sees its rockets as playing a key part in much grander ventures such as transporting infrastructure to the surface of
clever bit is that machine learning algorithms are employed so the printer recognizes mistakes, corrects its own work, and learns from these
