More good news from the Far East. I am pleased to announce a new partnership between Cranfield University, WAAM3D, Aichi-Sangyo CO.,LTD, and 将来宇宙輸送システム/Innovative Space Carrier. Together, we are working on the development of a transportation system that enables routine space travel for people and cargo.
ISC was founded in 2022, and conducted Japan’s first successful "tripropellant" combustion test last year, confirming the effectiveness of its proprietary research and development platform "P4SD" (Platform for Space Development). Describing 3D printing as ‘crucial for achieving agile development,’ ISC believes it will benefit from the shortened development, testing and production times, and design freedoms, such as lightweighting and part consolidation, afforded by AM technologies. ISC is set to purchase machines from us at WAAM3D, which will be used by Aichi Sangyo to develop manufacturing technologies for the propellant tanks. The first system within this effort is being installed in Tokyo as we speak. Cranfield will provide the underlying process understanding.
We are incredibly excited to work on such an ambitious project. With partners of such caliber, we look forward to pushing the boundaries of size, integrity, and value creation.
WAAM3D continues to be the first choice when performance matters.
