MISSION
To modernize composite manufacturing with breakthrough 3D printing & Industry 4.0 solutions.
INNOVATION
Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D Printing
Raven Space Systems' patent-pending MAD 3D printing technology is a breakthrough in aerospace composite manufacturing.
The MAD 3D printer extrudes & rapidly cures (or hardens) thermally-cured materials, unlocking large-scale 3D printing of thermoset & ceramic matrix composites for the first time.
MAD 3D printing uses off-the-shelf aerospace-grade resins & fillers mixed into proprietary blends. These highly tailorable composites include epoxy, phenolic, silicone, silicon carbide, carbon-carbon, & more.
