What’s hiding inside this box from space? πŸ‘€

Inside is the very first metal 3D-printed object made aboard the International Space Station!

Scientists will now compare the object with reference prints made on Earth to study how microgravity affects 3D metal printing.

One of our goals for future space development is to create a circular space economy, recycling materials in orbit for better resource use. In the future, we could repurpose old satellite parts into new tools and structures, reducing the need to launch everything from Earth.

A 3D printer in space would let astronauts print what they need, when they need it.

Our metal 3D printer was developed by @airbus_space and its partners.
