Check out all the buzz being made about Made in Space sending a 3D printer via SpaceX to the International Space Station for 3D printing in space and the unique microgravity environment.

• Astronauts To Make Spare Parts From 3D Printer

• NASA flying first zero-gravity 3D printer into space

• NASA Is Blasting the First 3D Printer Into Space Tonight

I personally know one of the amazing Made in Space team members Ashley Dara and it is exciting for her as well as a big accomplishment for everyone involved and for the advancement of 3D printing research. If you think about it any manufacturing or building on a space station or a planet will require some fast methods to make things and last I checked a UPS or FedEx cannot deliver ordered parts to a space station or planet. But 3D printing may be a fast viable solution people in remote locations to create objects or even build a remote space outpost building.

Congrats Made in Space!

To infinity 3D printing and beyond!
