3D Printing in Microgravity: WVU’s Breakthroughs for Space Exploration

A recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces investigates the potential for using 3D printing in weightlessness, also known as microgravity, with titania foam. This study was conducted by a team of researchers in the Microgravity Research Team at West Virginia University (WVU) and holds the potential for scientists and astronauts to better understand how they can produce vital components on long-term space missions to the Moon and even Mars.
