Anisoprint signs MoU with Nanoracks to deploy CFC 3D printing in space
Anisoprint, a manufacturer of continuous fiber 3D printing systems, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nanoracks Space Outpost Europe that will see it become a part of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) economy. Going forwards, the agreement will…
Braskem launches first sustainable 3D printing filament range
Brazilian petrochemical firm Braskem has released its first line of sustainable 3D printing filaments. Made up of three filaments produced from bio-based ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), recycled polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), the new range will be showcased at the…
AddUp-built metal 3D printer to undergo microgravity testing on the ISS
French industrial 3D printer manufacturer AddUp has revealed that a new system it has been helping develop is set to be launched into orbit for testing onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Working as part of the European Space Agency’s…
New method of 3D printing electronics tested in zero-gravity by Iowa State ‘NINJAS’ researchers
Researchers at Iowa State University have successfully tested a novel approach to 3D printing electronics in zero-gravity conditions. In place of gravity, the team’s technology effectively utilizes electrical force to print conductive inks onto a glass base layer-by-layer, in a…
Cornell, HP and NASA successfully test 3D modeling software aboard ISS
An advanced modeling software developed by Cornell University has been successfully deployed and tested on the International Space Station (ISS). As part of an experiment conducted with NASA, the ISS US National Laboratory and HP, Cornell’s modeling software was integrated…
Astronauts test 3D bioprinted skin bandages in space
Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are testing 3D bioprinted bandages made of their own cells that could be used to better heal flesh wounds in space. The German Space Agency (DLR) is leading the experiment which was launched…
