Made In Space, U.S. manufacturers of the world’s first microgravity 3D printer, are celebrating a year of trailblazing firsts 3D printed on the International Space Station (ISS). As of April 2017, the company’s Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF) has produced 39 objects including spare parts for NASA, and components for medical research.
Ongoing research into 3D printing on the ISS will aid future pioneers in further exploration of our solar system, and antigravity construction. Potential applications may even include SpaceX’s proposed colony on Mars.
