SAGA Space Architects 3D Print 7-Meter-Tall Analog Moon Habitat

by Design

SAGA Space Architects, a Copenhagen-based design practice working on making space liveable for future space travelers, have 3D printed their new 7-meter-tall analog moon habitat – the world’s tallest 3D printed polymer structure. The shell has been topologically optimized, and the corrugated surface generated, to withstand the specific forces the habitat would experience on the Moon. The habitat was brought to life in just nine months – from the first sketch to the final printed form, and has been designed to support a crew of two astronauts, comfortably, for 90 days on the surface of the Moon.

3D Printed Medicines in Seven Seconds

by Medical

The findings, published by a University College London (UCL)-led research team, improve the prospects of how 3D printers could be integrated into rapid-paced clinical settings for the on-demand production of personalized medicines. For the current study, the researchers loaded printlets (printed tablets) with paracetamol – one of many medicines that can be produced using 3D printing.

We don’t usually cover Kickstarter fund-raising projects unless they are credible projects that come from verified companies, who are already on the market with other similar products. Anycubic is one such company. They have been developing high-quality, very affordable LCD stereolithography systems which are on the market and we have been able to test. So if they say they are launching a new, affordable DLP 3D printer, the Anycubic Photon Ultra, on Kickstarter, we see this as more of a pre-sale campaign than an actual crowd-funding.
