Future Engineers is Allowing One Person to 3D Print an Object in Space

[Eddie]

With this past weekend's launch of SpaceX and the first 3D printer to be sent to the International Space Station, NASA and Made In Space will need all the help they can get to come up with innovative designs for tools and other objects that will be useful to them in space. Today, Future Engineers launches a competition for students between the ages for 5 and 19 years of age, asking them to help come up with 3D models of tools to be 3D printed on the ISS. The winner of the competition will see his/her design actually 3D printed LIVE in Space on the ISS. Read more about this initiative at: http://3dprint.com/16233/future-engineers-space-tools/

I can't believe it. The winning design looks like it was pulled of thingiverse, then imported it to 123d design. Plus my design was way better.
