The concept and use of 3D printing is now well established<\/a>, with a large selection of printers available today, ranging from your low-price small 3D units for home to the larger and more robust industrial printers.<\/p>\n The technology itself has also evolved and is now being implemented in a vast range of industries from food<\/a> to automotive<\/a>, aerospace<\/a>, construction<\/a>, health<\/a> and many others.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n There are still a few things holding back 3D printing from any mass production over other manufacturing methods, but it is the technology\u2019s application beyond Earth that it is showing real promise.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The American space company SpaceX<\/a> last year sent a Dragon capsule<\/a> to the International Space Station (ISS<\/a>) which carried the first ever zero-G 3D printer.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
