A Breakthrough in Ceramic Production in Space
New market leader in mission-critical space systems, Redwire, has accomplished a world-first in successfully creating a set of ceramic components in space via 3D printing. In December 2020, a Ceramic Manufacturing Model (CMM) accomplished this feat, representing a significant milestone for ceramic production in space.
Redwire was established in June 2020 when private equity firm AE Industrial Partners combined two companies it had newly acquired, Adcole Space and Deep Space Systems (DSS).
RedWire is uniquely positioned to develop cutting-edge solutions to solve today’s biggest challenges facing space missions. Redwire has emerged as a leader in mission-critical space solutions and is a trusted manufacturer of components used in next-generation space systems. The company provides end-to-end solutions, helping to further th
