BAM, TU Clausthal and German Aerospace Center participate in micro-gravity 3D printing tests

We’ve heard a lot recently about the potential for 3D printing to be used in space. The speed and efficiency with which products can be manufactured using the technology is ideal for situations where resources are limited, such as on space stations or even exploratory voyages to lunar or martian environments.
