In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the ...

A stronauts from the European Space Agency (ESA) have managed to 3D-print items out of metal for the first time, the agency recently announced. Until this breakthrough, orbital additive processes ...

NASA astronauts (from left) Suni Williams, Pilot for Boeing's Crew Flight Test, and Jeanette Epps, Expedition 71 Flight Engineer, configure the Metal 3D printer inside the Columbus laboratory module.

The ESA's metal 3D printer was sent to the ISS aboard the Cygnus NG-20 resupply mission and could be a game-changer for both the International Space Station and space exploration as we know it.

Most notably, a 3D printer that first arrived aboard the ISS in 2019 is making its return to the station after heading back down to Earth for upgrades courtesy of its developers at Redwire Space.

Scientists therefore had to adapt to work under these challenging conditions, and the International Space Station provided the perfect setting. ESA's metal 3D printer uses a stainless steel wire ...
