Extreme Temperature Space Freezer Now Features a 3D Printed Liner

Thanks to the collaboration of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Center for Biophysical Sciences and Engineering (CBSE) and Solid Concepts, Inc. (now Stratasys Direct), the International Space Station will be making room for Polar, an extreme temperature storage unit with a fully 3D printed interior shell. The liner, which was printed in one piece out of a material known as ULTEM 9085, can withstand temperatures as low as -95°C. Eventually, as many as 14 such units will be used on the ISS.
