BROOMFIELD – Raven Space Systems, a 3D printing company that specializes in aerospace-grade composites, selected Broomfield, Colorado, for its new headquarters and manufacturing facility.

The company expects the development to create up to 392 jobs, with hiring underway for engineers, technicians, managers, operators and executives.

In Colorado, Raven joins an aerospace ecosystem home to more than 2,000 aerospace companies. 

Raven’s patented Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) 3D printing technology minimizes labor, tooling and waste to rapidly manufacture aerospace-grade thermoset and ceramic composites by curing materials immediately after deposition. Applications include hypersonics, propulsion systems, reentry vehicles, satellites, aircraft, missiles and rockets, among others.

“We are excited to relocate to Colorado and become part of its robust aerospace manufacturing ecosystem," Raven CEO Blake Herren sad. "The support we’ve received has been incredible, and we believe Colorado is the ideal place to scale Raven and maximize our impact."

The company chose Colorado for the access to talent and proximity to aerospace customers and partners.
