Auxilium Biotechnologies, a San Diego medtech startup, is 3D printing medical devices in space. The company uses a DLP-based bioprinter called the Auxilium Microfabrication Platform (AMP-1) to create biomimetic devices for nerve injuries. A recent deployment of the AMP-1 to the International Space Station (ISS) resulted in a successful test, described by Auxilium CEO Jacob Koffler as “a landmark achievement for space biomanufacturing.”
