This summer I’ll be starting work as an engineering intern at Raven Space Systems! I’ve always wanted to work in the space industry, especially at a start-up where I can work on the full spectrum of engineering problems.

We are excited to announce collaborative agreements with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Air Force Research Laboratory focused on developing Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing of composite thermal protection and structures for solid rocket motors. The agreements will enable our team to work with these experts to characterize our 3D printed materials with state-of-the-art equipment and test components in relevant environments to prove out our innovative approach. ? Reach out if you need thermoset or ceramic composite parts for propulsion systems, hypersonics, and more. Our MAD 3D printer will soon be operational for full-scale components manufacturing and we're happy to support teams with various needs across aerospace and defense.

Headed down to Austin Friday-Saturday for Capital Factory House during SXSW. Always a fun trip. Reach out if you'd like to meet and catch up on Raven Space Systems' progress transforming composite manufacturing with Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing.

We're excited to announce the closing of our oversubscribed $2M Pre-seed round led by Backswing Ventures with participation from 46 Venture Capital , Mana Ventures, What If Ventures, and Cape Fear Ventures! In addition to the tremendous support we've received from AFWERX, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and National Science Foundation (NSF), this funding will help accelerate our development of Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing production lines to solve critical supply chain issues for thermal protection and lightweight structures across the aerospace and defense industry.

We are honored to announce that Raven Space Systems has been awarded an STTR Phase II contract with AFWERX worth $1,800,000 focused on developing 3D printed reentry aeroshells for hypersonic flight testing. This contract will advance Raven’s breakthrough Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing of aerospace-grade thermoset composites for thermal protection and lightweight structures to address a critical need for the Department of the United States Air Force.? ? Raven will leverage the expertise and capabilities of our experienced partners including the RED-Data reentry systems provided by SpaceWorks Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) and the state-of-the-art thermal protection testing facilities at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Thank you AFWERX and Air Force Research Laboratory for this opportunity to develop an innovative solution for the defense industry. _____ The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. government.

*LaunchKC Startup Spotlight* Raven Space Systems is modernizing composite manufacturing with a breakthrough 3D printing innovation known as Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing. ? Raven was founded by Blake Herren and Ryan Cowdrey. "My favorite part of the LaunchKC experience was the Innovation Lounge where we engaged with several potential stakeholders around KC," said Blake. "LaunchKC has provided us with impactful funding, a flexible space in the West Bottoms that we love, and a network that has helped us take our technology to the next level."

We are pleased to share that Raven Space Systems has been awarded a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase I SBIR grant for $275k to conduct R&D on 3D printing of high-temperature composite materials using Raven's patented Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) technology. Through this award Raven becomes eligible to apply for Phase II funding and additional supplements totaling up to $2 million.
