International Space Station Create First Ever 3D Printed Object in Space

The 3-D printer at International Space Station has successfully created the first 3-D printed object in space. This 3-D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration aims to show that additive manufacturing can be used to build a wide range of 3-D printed tools and components in space. The study was also conducted to check whether the 3-D printing process functions the same in microgravity like it does on Earth. This is a significant breakthrough in space technology and opens the doors to future space expeditions.

Digital Image Correlation Enables Accurate Residual Stress Measurement in 3D Printed Parts

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel accurate method for measuring residual stress in 3-D printed metal parts. Powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) is a type of 3D printing process that uses a high-energy laser beam for fusing metal powder particles. In this method the metal parts are produced using a layer-by-layer method.
