nScrypt and Techshot to launch 3D BioFabrication Facility into space this July Bioprinting

by Aerospace

While bioprinting technologies are gradually advancing here on Earth, the next giant leap in the technology’s evolution could come from beyond the stratosphere. The ability to bioprint tissues and cellular structures in space could result in more sophisticated structures, which could culture without the pull of gravity. There are already efforts underway to bring bioprinting to space—notably, Russian company 3D Bioprinting Solutions recently deployed the first bioprinter, the Organ.Aut, to the ISS.

Nano Dimension and Harris Corp. taking 3D printed electronics to final frontier Electronics

by Aerospace

Last year, Nano Dimension and technology company Harris Corporation achieved a breakthrough in 3D printed electronics with the production of a radio frequency (RF) amplifier. Now, the companies will further their cooperation by jointly developing hardware destined for the International Space Station. The recent partnership, supported by a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority, aims to establish a systemic ground analysis of 3D printed materials for RF space systems, such as Nano-satellites.
