3D Printers in Zero-G Flights? There Have Been a Few of Those
In 2011, Made In Space created the first 3D printer for microgravity; what sounded like science fiction suddenly became a reality. Since then, at least 15 experimental 3D printers have…
Students’ In-Space 3D Printing Experiment Works in Zero-G Test
Advances in space technology and manufacturing processes have helped to lower costs and reduce entry barriers to space. Still, space is expensive. Today, all spacecraft are developed, tested, and assembled…
Project Imperial Consortium to Create Large Scale 3D Printer for Zero Gravity
Under contract with the European Space Agency, the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) will be creating a new, large-scale 3D printer capable of fabricating parts in a zero-gravity atmosphere. The innovative hardware…
BEEVERYCREATIVE Continues Work with ESA: New ISS 3D Printer to be Developed
BEEVERYCREATIVE first established an outer space connection in 2016, when the Portuguese company was asked by the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop a breadboard, or prototype, 3D printer for…
Zero Gravity Bioprinter is Ready for Delivery to the International Space Station
An amazing thing happened two years ago, when Techshot and nScrypt worked together to 3D print a human heart – in zero gravity. Not a working heart, yet, but the two…
China Uses DLP Technology to 3D Print Ceramics in Microgravity
Two years ago, China made big news when it tested a 3D printer in zero gravity. The country’s work in microgravity 3D printing has been progressing since then, and today…
Astronauts Aboard the ISS Will 3D Print Medical Tools in Space for the First Time, Thanks to Dr. Wong and 3D4MD
3D printing made history back in 2014 when the first 3D printer in space, the Made In Space Zero-G 3D printer, was sent up to the International Space Station. One of the…
High-Tech Partnership Reaches New High, 3D Printing Heart Tissue in Zero-G
That’s one small pulse for a heart, one giant beat for heart health. Okay, it’s not exactly beating yet, but the latest in heart health is pretty literally out of…
What’s Next For China’s Zero-Gravity 3D Printer? Slowly, More Details Emerge
Piece by piece, more details are being revealed about China’s progress toward 3D printing in space. Last week we reported that the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently ran several tests on…
The 3D Printing Space Race Continues as China Successfully Tests Zero-Gravity 3D Printer
One of the most exciting applications of 3D printing technology, in my opinion, is 3D printing in space. We’ve been closely following the progress of NASA and Made In Space ever…
UK Company Majestic is About to 3D Print the Internet — From Space
If you think about it, the Internet is sort of like outer space. It’s seemingly endless, full of dark matter, and impossible to fully see or know. You’d also think…
What Happens When You Turn a 3D Printer Upside Down & On Its Side?
We often hear the statement, “Well, I could do that standing on my head.” How about while 3D printing? If you are thinking about trying it, then you’re hanging with…
Made In Space Releases New 3D Printable Model Files for 12 Objects That Were 3D Printed in Space
It’s fascinating watching as Made In Space and NASA work together to develop and test 3D printing outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. Back in December one of the most eye-opening applications…
