Abstract This chapter gives an overview of a sector of satellite technology which is rapidly developing and has to be taken into account when planning a new space mission. Additive manufacturing, usually called 3D printing, is extremely well adapted to the constraints of spacecraft development, therefore quickly gaining acceptance in the field of space technology. But 3D printing is not the only innovative technology that may change the way that satellites will look like in the future. In addition to the expected continuous integration of electronics, new materials, and even meta-materials, associated with new manufacturing techniques, will give the designer a renewed freedom to design more powerful and innovative space systems.
