3D Printing in Space

3D Printing in the Vacuum of Space Now Possible from Made In Space

Michael Molitch-Hou | August 10, 2015


At the end of last year, Made In Space made what was a huge achievement for 3D printing in space by sending their Zero G 3D printer, capable of 3D printing without gravity, to the International Space Station.  There, it has 3D printed numerous components, including a now famous wrench and twenty-three other prints that have since returned to Earth for lab analysis.
