On April 3, 2024, the Moon Exploration Project with Magpie Bridge Tongguiding Technology Test Satellite-Tiantu No. 2 satellite separation in orbit is normal, and the cold push system is working normally, marking the first time for domestic spaceflight to realize the application of 3D printing receptacle in orbit, and laying a solid foundation for the application of 3D printing technology in the field of space propulsion.
The April 4 acquisition of Holo, a developer of indirect metal 3D printing technology, by a traditional metal injection molding developer called Greene Group Industries (GGI) was actually a significant landmark event.
