Stoke Space orders five MetalFab 420K machines from Additive Industries
Additive Industries, headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, has announced that Stoke Space, located in Kent, Washington, USA, will be the first production customer of the MetalFab 420K, the company’s latest metal Additive Manufacturing machine. Following a successful beta programme, Stoke Space has invested in five MetalFab 420K machines, expanding its AM capacity and reinforcing its commitment to advanced, high-rate production.
As a valued MetalFab G2 customer, Stoke Space was selected to conduct a rigorous six-month beta programme with one of the first MetalFab 420K systems built. The machine 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.
Kunal Naik, Senior Manager, Additive Manufacturing, Stoke Space, shared, “Additive Manufacturing plays a critical role in our manufacturing and production efforts. 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 programme, and this next step reflects our confidence in the system’s readiness for production.”
Equipped with four 1 kW full-field lasers, the MetalFab 420K is designed to meet the demands of advanced AM production environments.
