The 3D printer that delivers tools to space
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Prime shipping doesn't quite reach low Earth orbit yet. Instead of waiting months for a resupply rocket to bring a specific wrench or replacement valve, NASA sends digital CAD files to the ISS. The astronauts just print the tools they need in zero gravity, which is infinitely cooler than whatever useless plastic trinket you printed at home last week.
One discovery leads to another.
