3D Printed Wrench on the ISS

3D printing has been popping up in major media outlets with increasing frequency, and the latest story to make the rounds carries the headline “Nasa just emailed a wrench to space.” Although I think it’s a bit sensationalist and misleading, it still serves as an excellent demonstration of the potential uses 3D printing could see in the future. Congratulations to the Made In Space team and everyone involved in the Zero-G printer project.
