From time to time I've heard mention that NASA is interested in using 3D-printers

From time to time I’ve heard mention that NASA is interested in using 3D-printers in space, but today a link on the Google+ STEM community from +Nuno Cravino showed that I hadn’t really had the right perspective on what 3D-printers in space could mean (Doh!). While the bruise on my forehead is healing up, I composed a short article resharing his link and a few others to make sure that you too are properly thinking outside of the box.
