The first 3D printer in space is here and ready to print all sorts of objects in zero gravity conditions. The United States Space Agency NASA has obviously spotted the potential benefits of 3D printing and are wasting no time whatsoever, as they will be deploying the first 3D printer to a space station as early as next year.

CEO of NASA, Aaron Kemmer said “Imagine an astronaut needing to make a life-or-death repair on the International Space Station, rather than hoping that the necessary parts and tools are on the station already, what if the parts could be 3D printed when they needed them?”

The parts and objects are not the only topics that are in discussion by NASA. 3D printing could also help to print food for astronauts which would increase space traveling time even further.

Dave Korsmeyer, director of engineering at Nasa said “If you want to be adaptable, you have to be able to design and manufacture on the fly, and that’s where 3D printing in space comes in”

This is definitely the step in the right direction from NASA and from the humanity. With 3D printers advancing as we speak it is extremely exciting time for the explorers of the universe. However astronauts will have to make sure that they have at least two or three 3D printers on board just in case one of the printers break down.

In conclusion, nobody knows whether 3D printing will save human species but one thing for sure it will make things easier for the astronauts by opening different types of possibilities.
