Another 3D printer in SPACE !
“A second 3D printer, known as the Additive Manufacturing Facility, will also ship to the space station. Twice as large as the original space printer, it will print 10 times faster from a stock of three different polymers instead of just one. Owned by Made in Space, NASA and other customers will pay to use the printer. “We have a queue of prints we’ve lined up from NASA and educational users,” said Matt Napoli, an official with the company.”
