Made in Space to make proposal on Phase II of Archinaut Development Program Aerospace

by Business

NASA has invited Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) to submit a proposal for a technology flight demonstration mission (Phase II) of its Archinaut technology. Archinaut is an in-space robotic manufacturing and assembly platform capable of constructing space-optimized systems of sizes not previously feasible. NASA’s Space Technology and Mission Directorate (STMD) awarded MIS its initial Archinaut contract in 2016. Since that time, MIS, who recently won a bid to continue developing VULCAN, has made significant advancements in space-capable extended structure additive manufacturing and robotic assembly.

by Automotive

Some of today’s brightest engineers got their start designing race cars for Formula Student competitions, which is why our attention is always piqued when new case studies on the topic emerge. The most recent story is from Barcelona-based ETSEIB Motorsport, one of the most experienced Formula Student teams, which turned to local 3D printer manufacturer, BCN3D Technologies, for assistance on its latest race car model.

Is 3D Printing the future of Nintendo Labo? Consumer Products

Is 3D Printing the future of Nintendo Labo? Consumer Products

by Consumer

Sure, one of the coolest things about the Nintendo Labo series of games is that the “accessories” are made from recyclable cardboard so they are environmentally friendly and won’t pollute for centuries to come (unlike those piles of E.T. buried in the New Mexico desert by Atari). However, there is little arguing that cardboard has a hard time sustaining the abuse that most video game accessories experience. So 3D printing Nintendo Labo accessories could be a welcome new development.
