Introduction:3D printingThe emergence of technology has enabled mankind to unlock new possibilities in the field of manufacturing, and it has also allowed governments to see3D printingexistaviationaerospaceThe potential of the technology.
The British government issued a national space strategy at the end of September 2021, setting a long-term vision for building one of the most attractive and innovative space economies in the world.It is reported that the British government intends to

According to the content of the strategy document, the British government looks forward to plans to take advantage of the country’s space advantages, including satellite manufacturing and communications, while cooperating with leading companies in space technology. Currently, the British aerospace sector has more than 45,000 highly skilled staff, ranging from aerospace scientists and researchers to engineers and satellite manufacturers. As the global space economy grows from an estimated 270 billion pounds (about 2.37 trillion yuan) in 2019 to an estimated 490 billion pounds (about 4.30 trillion yuan) in 2030, the British National Space Strategy hopes to use these advantages to seize future opportunities.

Britain’s goal is to become the first country to launch a rocket in orbit in Europe by 2022. The National Space Strategy also emphasizes the UK’s ambition to become the leading supplier of commercial small satellite launches in Europe by 2030, which means that it will prioritize the development of spaceports and make full use of its competitive advantage in small satellite manufacturing across the UK.

So far, additive manufacturing has played an important role in the development of the British aerospace industry. In February 2021,British aerospace company Orbex, with headquarters and production and test facilities in Scotland, and design and test facilities in Denmark, commissioned AMCM to build Europe’s largest industrial additive manufacturing machine. As the company expands its launch capacity, the customized high-capacity system will enable Orbex to build more than 35 large rocket engines and main-stage turbopump systems each year.
