NASA, as well as other agencies like NASA, have investigated methods to manufacture essential products beyond Earth.
It would also help to reduce the costs associated with trips to interplanetary destinations such as the Moon.
In this case, 3D-printing technology is a viable option in a space environment where gravity has been significantly reduced.
The technology allows for on-demand manufacturing and eliminates the need to transport prefabricated goods from Earth. This makes space exploration sustainable and independent.
While this technology is still in its infancy, it poses a number of obstacles for the production and construction of items within space. Researchers are working hard to determine how the technology will work on other planets.
