3D printing in space is just beginning, but 3D printing for space has been taking place for some time now, with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) well aware of the benefits that 3D printing brings to manufacturing highly specific, high performance parts for space travel. Most recently, the lab turned to 3D printing to create 30 antenna array supports for the FORMOSAT-7 Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC-2) satellite mission, due to the low-cost and quick turnaround of the 3D printing process.…
