Knowing that that &#8220;new technology&#8221; is one that we all are fortunate enough to experiment with every day, the ability to additively manufacture on demand through 3D Printing, is inspiring. Remember, there is no overnight shipping to space; and it is physically impossible to traditionally manufacture parts in a space environment. We really are witnessing, and taking an active part in, making history.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/ISS-Prize.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17993\" alt=\"ISS Prize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/ISS-Prize.png\" width=\"625\" height=\"286\" data-wp-pid=\"17993\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screen Shots here and below courtesy of FutureEngineers.org<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is the first in a series of NASA developed 3D Space Challenges that Future Engineers and our other out-of-this-world partners are happy to share with the Shapeways community.
