Microgravity 3D printing using a precious mineral abundant on the moon could help astronauts build on-demand supplies, shield themselves from UV radiation and even refine water, new study shows.

Lockheed Martin is no stranger to 3D printing components, but now the company has created its largest piece to date – titanium domes to cap off satellite fuel tanks. Using additive manufacturing ...

Juno is outfitted with eight 3D-printed waveguide titanium brackets. By using 3D printing, "we were allowed to take half the cost out and half the schedule out for these parts that did go on the ...

The pen-size titanium harpoon developed by Airbus engineers in the U.K. was fired on Feb. 8 into an aluminum target, which extended from the spacecraft attached to a carbon-fiber boom.

On spacecraft, the size, weight and fit of parts have a huge impact on performance. We used low-cost 3-D printers to develop rapid prototypes, which allowed us to go through many design iterations ...
