NASA has released a fun, scientifically interesting app to the public called Vesta Trek. Offering a virtual tour of the second largest asteroid in the asteroid belt, Vesta Trek allows for interactive mapping, analyzing and measuring, as well as 3D printing of the enormous asteroid. The 3D printing tool is streamlined and user-friendly, allowing use of pre-programmed 3D printing files with different options for resolutions. Users can also highlight an area to be 3D printed and create a file, or can 3D print the two halves of Vesta. Read the full story here: http://3dprint.com/55454/nasa-vesta-trek-app/
