"Raven Space Systems, based in Kansas City, Missouri, has developed Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing, enabling scalable 3D printing of thermoset composites. Backed by $4.5M in non-dilutive contracts and a $2M pre-seed round, the company plans to produce aerospace components, starting with thermal protection for rockets and hypersonic vessels. Raven aims to revolutionize composite manufacturing and address supply chain bottlenecks.
