Made In Space today announced that their 3D printer will be sent to space a full three months ahead of schedule. The printer passed all the safety and regulation hurdles with flying colors. Once launched, the 3D printer will head to the International Space Station for a series of vigorous tests. Made in space plans to set up a permanent Additive Manufacturing Facility on the ISS once these tests are completed, and will eventually allow for companies and individuals to 3D print from space for a fee.
