I guess the demand for reusable 3-D printed rockets is increasing.
Relativity Space is adding a new facility, over 1 million square feet.

Well it would save a lot of time and cut production costs by quite a bit. I wonder if Elon Musk is using them as parts for his rockets.

I have not seen his name tied to that company at all. Bezos evidently took a look at it. I am not sure who they are catering too.
Of course, I dont think they had a successful test launch yet so that is what everyone might be waiting on. I believe that was due to happen in 2021.

Yes, he is. Some engine parts of the Falcon9 are 3D printed

Ah ok. Is he tied to this company or is SpaceX doing it on their own?

Hmm not sure actually. I think I remember reading that they are doing that stuff in-house but don't quote me on that

I tend to agree with you on that. I think SpaceX is really doing like Tesla, vertically integrating.
The interesting thing about the other company is they are 3-D printing most of the rocket, not just a few parts.

Of course, this company is 3-D printing the entire rocket.
