Washington: Twenty-one 3D items including a ratchet wrench -- the first-ever 3D tool built in space -- have come back to NASA in sealed bags from the International Space Station (ISS) for further testing. The items were manufactured as part of the "3D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration" on the space station to show that additive manufacturing can make a variety of parts and tools in space.
ce manufacturing technologies like 3-D printing will help NASA explore Mars, asteroids and other locations, the US space agency said in a statement. To make the items, the printer heated a relatively low-temperature plastic filament to build parts, layer on top of layer, in designs supplied to the machine.
