# 3D printing breakthrough

From the Moon to Microfabrication: A Week of Market‑Moving Tech — Musk’s Lunar Factory, China’s Satellite Launch and Breakthroughs at Home

A compact roundup of market‑moving technology and policy developments: Elon Musk outlined plans for lunar factories to build AI satellites, China launched seven satellites including Pakistan’s PRSC‑EO2, and Chinese researchers set a new speed record in millimetre‑scale 3D printing. Together with advances in embodied robotics models, quantum networking and targeted vocational reforms, these items illustrate accelerating commercialisation and strategic competition across space, AI and advanced manufacturing.
