"The first metal 3D printer for space, developed by Airbus for the European
Space Agency (ESA), will soon be tested aboard the Columbus module of the
International Space Station (ISS). It could be a real game changer for
manufacturing in space and future missions to the Moon or Mars.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an industrial process that has opened up new
ways of looking at how parts are designed. It has many uses from the day-to-day
to the surprising: from simple repairs to bio-ink implants, from printing whole
houses to producing spacecraft parts."
