NASA Ames 2016 Summer Series. Manufacturing of tools is why humans survive. Jason Dunn discusses Made In Space’s achievements in bringing 3D printers to the International Space Station and their future role in space exploration.
Inkjet printer technology has revolutionized the world of printing anything and led to 3D printers that allow rapid prototyping and manufacturing of tools. Getting materials to space is costly and the ability to manufacture on demand will make space exploration and space utilization more robust and affordable. Mr. Jason Dunn discusses how tool creation on the ISS is changing how things are done in low earth orbit.
