Zero Gravity Bioprinter: Ready for the International Space Station

The additive manufacturing has become a great ally for the extraterrestrial conquest and for the technological development in space. There are multiple applications of 3D printing for arrival in space, but there is one that has stood out in recently: the Zero Gravity bioprinter, is capable of developing living tissue in zero gravity.

The idea of ​​printing in space without gravity came with the US company Made in Space and NASA, which succeeded in 2014. A couple of years ago the companies Techshot and nScrypt came together to print a 3D human heart to gravity zero. Showing that bioprinting is much more effective and controlled under these conditions or outside the Earth. It is very likely that the first functional organ printed in 3D is obtained outside of our planet.
