First 3D Printer To Be Sent To Space

Most 3D printers rely on upon gravity, The material drops from an extruder on to a print plate, layer by layer to fabricate objects starting from the earliest stage. However imagine a scenario in which you needed to 3D print something in space, where there is no gravity.

The life of many astronauts is soon going to be simple as NASA clears first 3D printer to be dispatched in space. The spacemen get this news with much bliss as it would spare them from the months of wait for the replacement parts. They will now be able  to utilize this 3D printer to create instruments, using a variety of materials, as and when they require, and will work with same effectiveness with which they can  work on the Earth. This additionally saves huge amounts of fuel required to carry these goods  all the way to space. Also henceforth, the space investigation is going to be much less expensive than it was ever!
