Off-world applications
As one of the first additive manufacturing facilities to be deployed in space, the DAF3D is already enabling a veritable litany of in-orbit fabrication operations while simultaneously facilitating numerous research studies for use back on Earth and in space.
3D Printer Technology has an extensively modified DAF3D manufacturing device in operation on the International Space Station (ISS), facilitating the fabrication of hardware componentry and tools by members of the ESA (European Space Agency) mission and other participating partners aboard this most unique and cooperative of international installations. At almost double the size of the earthbound DAF3D printer, this variant can construct larger and more intricate objects at greater speed, all with the extreme precision necessary for deployment in orbital space.
