NASA EDGE: Additive Manufacturing in Space - 3D Printing

Chris and Franklin get an inside look into the additive manufacturing work being done by NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems Office. Meanwhile, Blair struggles to keep up with the rest of the NASA EDGE team after a grueling Marvel movie marathon.

The problem with NASA nowadays is that everything takes a looooong time. Between safety concerns, too large scope, and shrinking budget, Very useful technologies like this take a lot of time to be ready. Anyway, 3D printing is the future of many industries, so it's usage should start to grow, and hopefully it will make space usage more straightforward. Those inflatable habitats looked cool as hell, BTW, another tech that's taking too long to fly and be used!

What you need is something like an Applied Energistics 2 ME System... :-P
(Yes, that in a joke)
