About CosmicMaker
Vision
As humanity expands its presence into orbit, the Moon, and eventually Mars, we face a critical challenge: how do we build and maintain the tools, systems, and environments we need — without relying on costly, delayed resupply from Earth?
The space economy is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2040, driven by satellite expansion, lunar missions, and orbital infrastructure. Yet, logistics remain a bottleneck. Launching spare parts at ~$25,000/kg is unsustainable and up to 95% of stored spaces are never used, wasting valuable payload capacity. Waiting weeks for costly replacements slows progress and jeopardises missions.
CosmicMaker is positioned to solve this challenge through autonomous, in-situ manufacturing – reducing costs, boosting resilience, and enabling long-term human presence beyond Earth, to the benefit of Humanity.
We envision a future where infrastructure can be built, repaired, and evolved independently – from low Earth orbit to lunar orbit, planetary stations, and deep space. CosmicMaker is our answer: a modular, scalable, fully autonomous manufacturing ecosystem designed to support the next era of space exploration and industry.
CosmicMaker Benefits
Faster Mission Response
Parts in hours, not weeks
Reduced Launch Mass
Make spares only when needed
Greater Mission Flexibility
Adapt designs mid-mission
Sustainability
Fewer launches, less carbon footprint
Astronauts should be explorers – not 3D printing technicians.
Mission
Our Mission is to empower space missions with autonomous manufacturing capabilities that enable sustainable exploration and habitation beyond Earth.
We’re actively developing a fully autonomous 3D production platform and broad range of materials to address this growing demand.
With ESA support, we’ve already printed in simulated zero gravity and we’re on a journey to delivering CosmicMaker capabilities to space in the not too distant future. We’re currently preparing the CosmicMaker II platform for parabolic flight and ISS integration.
