November 12th, 2025 – Eindhoven, the Netherlands
Additive Industries, a leader in industrial additive manufacturing equipment, today announced that Stoke Space will be the first production customer of the MetalFab 420K, the company’s latest metal additive manufacturing system. Equipped with four x 1-kilowatt full-field lasers, the MetalFab 420K is designed to meet the demands of advanced additive manufacturing production environments.
As a valued MetalFab G2 customer, Stoke Space was selected to conduct a rigorous six-month beta program with one of the first MetalFab 420K systems built. The system was installed at Stoke’s production facility in Kent, Washington, in May 2025. During the beta period, Stoke worked closely with the Additive Industries development team to produce various complex components for its reusable launch vehicle.
“Additive manufacturing plays a critical role in our manufacturing and production efforts,” said Kunal Naik, Senior Manager, Additive Manufacturing, Stoke Space. “The MetalFab 420K gives us the productivity, precision, and reliability we need to move quickly from design iteration to flight hardware. Additive Industries has been a strong partner throughout the beta program, and this next step reflects our confidence in the system’s readiness for production.”
Following the successful beta program, Stoke Space invested in five MetalFab 420K production systems, expanding its additive manufacturing capacity and reinforcing its commitment to advanced, high-rate production.
‘We are extremely proud that Stoke Space has placed its continued trust in Additive Industries’ MetalFab technology,” said Mark Massey, CEO of Additive Industries. “The system has been designed and developed with exactly this type of customer and application in mind, and it is exciting to see innovative companies like Stoke Space adopt our technology for production.”
