Today, China has conducted its first 3D printing experiment in space in a newlylaunched spacecraft, which was put into low-Earth orbit by China's Long March 5B heavy-liftcarrier rocket.Video broadcast on CCTV showed that the printer has printed a flat section of ahoneycomb-shaped(蜂巢状) st...
It is China's first in-orbit 3D printing test, which has realized space 3D printing of continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites for the first time in the world. Developed by a research institute of the CAST, the 3D printing system completed the scheduled tasks in orbit at 1:58...
Could 3D printing one day lead to building a lunar base? Image Credit: lunarscience.nasa.gov I've always been a little sceptical about the future of space exploration in terms of the next stage of space travel and human architecture in space. How do we get to the point where we could ...
