3 D Printing in Zero Gravity

The goal of 3D printing is to take this capability to microgravity for use on the International Space Station. In space, whatever astronauts have available on orbit is what they have to use but just like on Earth, parts break or get lost. When that happens, there s a wait for replacement parts, or the need to have multiple spares that have to be launched. The ability to conduct 3D printing in space could change all of that.
