Aerospace companies are poised for significant gains by integrating additive manufacturing. They benefit from reducing weight at every opportunity so lightweight components make a huge difference in cost and feasibility for space. Remote, on-demand, and small batch production are also significant factors for space travel. And the real future is in producing new components directly in space from other parts.
