Made in Space Celebrates One Year Anniversary of 3D Printing on the ISS 3D Printing Events

by Aerospace

Made In Space is primarily concerned with how the unique traits of the space environment such as persistent microgravity and vacuum conditions can be harnessed to offer new commercial solutions. By manufacturing and assembling structures on orbit, rather than on the planet’s surface, we unlock incredible design possibilities for extending the life of current on-orbit assets or entirely new structures. By pulling fiber in microgravity, we address one of the most critical barriers to perfect ZBLAN on the surface–gravity-caused crystallization. By setting up a prototyping platform on the ISS National Lab, we give researchers the ability to prototype tools and designs in the environment of space with short iteration cycles.

Vader Mk1, an Experimental System for Molten Metal Inkjet 3D Printing 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

The Vader Mk1 Experimental 3D printer by Vader – a Buffalo, NY, based startup – represents a revolutionary advance in 3D printing — bringing to life new possibilities for metal additive manufacturing. Centered on patent-pending MagnetoJet technology, the Mk1 propels liquefied metal from a 1200°C chamber encased in an electromagnetic field through print nozzles similar to an inkjet printer – allowing full control of the Earth’s most abundant metal, Aluminum.
