UK-based spaceflight company Orbex plans to use the rockets to launch satellites from a spaceport near Tongue in Sutherland next year. The custom-made 12-tonne printer is to be used for manufacturing parts, including small rocket engines, at a site in Forres. Orbex said that as many as 35 engines could be printed a year. They would be fitted to 19m (62ft) long rockets designed to deliver satellites into polar orbits around the Earth.
