Top 5 Videos: 3D Printing Lunar Material in Space

With 2024 behind us, it is time to look ahead to see what innovation is to come. For a while, 3D printing companies have had their sights set on space, and Madison Feehan’s company Space Copy is certainly looking to the stars. Feehan is working to design 3D printers that could withstand conditions on the moon—and what’s more, print out of a lunar soil stimulant material. After watching her story, learn about how ORNL is printing nuclear components. Third, take a look at Bambu Lab’s tutorial on how to improve print surface quality, and then, dive into an incredible “underwater” art piece from an Anycubic creator. Finally, get an inside look TV personality Adam Savage’s upgraded 3D printing lab. As always, happy watching!
