But how many exactly? According to a really short but very illustrative video, the company has 3 large [EOS](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/eos/) M400 class DMLS systems, four [Velo3D](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/velo3d/) Sapphire (including two Sapphire XC class systems) systems and the giant, internally developed, Stargate metal DED systems. As a 93-acre former Boeing C-17 manufacturing plant in Long Beach, [the new Relativity headquarters](https://www.voxelmatters.com/relativity-to-build-new-1m-sq-ft-am-factory-at-long-beach-headquarters/), designed in collaboration with Gensler, is one of the largest headquarters in the private space industry. At capacity, it will have 2,000+ employees, a metallurgical laboratory, multiple metal PBF 3D printers, a mission control center, as well as dozens of the company’s proprietary Stargate 3D printers, the largest metal 3D printers in the world. With software changes, Relativity’s Stargate printers are capable of printing both Terran 1, the world’s first entirely 3D printed launch vehicle and its new, fully reusable, entirely 3D printed rocket, Terran R. ![See the EOS, Velo3D and Stargate 3D printers inside the Relativity HQ in a quick tour of the the 1M sq. ft.

Through collaboration between humans and machines, Relativity’s Factory of the Future fuses 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity’s radically simplified supply chain enables the company to print its rockets with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. ![See the EOS, Velo3D and Stargate 3D printers inside the Relativity HQ in a quick tour of the the 1M sq. ft.

As part of Long Beach City Council’s recently passed Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan, the new Relativity headquarters is part of 437 acres of coveted land west of Long Beach Airport that will be transformed into a modern business district, commencing over the coming weeks with move in planned for January 2022. “We want to welcome Relativity Space to Space Beach, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome their new 1M square foot headquarters to our city,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “Relativity is a growing leader in our world’s space economy, and we’re proud they chose Long Beach as home. This new HQ will bring thousands of great, good-paying jobs to Long Beach and strengthen economic growth for the entire region.” ![See the EOS, Velo3D and Stargate 3D printers inside the Relativity HQ in a quick tour of the the 1M sq. ft.

Architecture and design firm, Gensler, will be collaborating with Relativity to completely reimagine the space. Anthony Rozic, CEO of Goodman North America said: “The adaptive re-use of this iconic Long Beach building sees Goodman deliver our global strategy of being leaders in sustainability and providers of unique real estate solutions for our customers in rare strategic locations. We know that the regeneration of existing sites will have the lowest impact on the environment. Partnering with the City of Long Beach, the site has been sustainably redeveloped removing the need for large-scale demolition and new construction. In Relativity, we found the ideal partner for the space providing thousands of job opportunities for the Long Beach community. At Goodman, our purpose is ‘making space for greatness’ which I have no doubt Relativity will achieve as they expand their vertically integrated technology platform and 3D manufacturing capabilities.”
