Before integrating additive manufacturing, CNES faced several challenges with traditional manufacturing methods, particularly in qualifying materials for use in clean rooms and satellite testing. Additionally, the long design and manufacturing cycles required to produce a tool was impacting the efficiency.

By leveraging 3D printing, CNES is able to streamline this process to a single day, enabling rapid prototyping and design iterations, which ease the process of testing and satellite assembly.
