3d printers are officially headed to the international space station. It's not an additional application that branches into sustainability for the future of the industry it is happening this August. This 3d printer will be NASA certified and specially designed for the rigors of space by a company called Made in Space by Mountainview. The fact that this equipment is internationally supported mean that the private companies that are betting on futures in space travel must also add the myriad of applications to their budget.
We have the best scientists being delivered 3d printers but what about the kids? Printeer is heading to class rooms a couple of months later. It is the opposite of being NASA certified it is trying to certify kids in 3d printing without the use of CAD software the learning curve shouldn't be as steep. Possibly through Nasa's youtube channel some of the same experiments performed on the space station could be performed around the worlds class rooms simultaneously.
