On Saturday morning, the 20th of September, NASA and Made In Space will be launching the first 3D printer into space. While this is a huge accomplishment itself, in the fact that they could create a Zero-gravity 3D printer. However, the ultimate goal of NASA is to eventually send up a larger, more sophisticated 3D printed to the Space Station; one that can print in metals, print electronics, and also recycle old prints and other plastic waste. Then, within 10 years, they hope to have 3D printers on Mars printing structures, radiation shield, and engine parts.
