I'm far from an expert but it seems like at least some companies use cnc milling very extensively which I can't imagine is all that fast either. Many of the huge parts in this SmarterEveryDay video at ULA have tool markings e.g. at 8:40. I'm also skeptical of 3d printing being as big of a boon as they pitch but I also wouldn't be super surprised if it nets an improvement in speed for some parts.

- FredPret 4y agoIt's probably easier to land a 3D printer on the Moon than all that other equipment. I wonder what 3D-printing in a vacuum in low gravity would be like.
