GAIA I is the largest metal 3D printer developed and operated by VF Space. It is capable of producing parts up to 1.5 × 1.5 × 2.1 m in size, with a maximum build capacity of 1.5 tons. VF Space’s control software continuously monitors all system states, enabling fully autonomous operation. Equipped with the latest Medusa Series, it delivers high production speed, stability, and adaptive resolution capabilities. By overcoming the limitations of conventional powder-based and WLAM processes, GAIA I introduces a new paradigm in metal 3D printing.

In collaboration with the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), we successfully developed the world’s first plasma thruster manufactured using the WLAM 3D printing process.

The combustion tests demonstrate the structural integrity and thermal resistance of components produced by GAIA I.
