As we continue to harness the capabilities of 3D printing, one application that’s making waves is its use in creating homes built to resist natural disasters, particularly hurricanes. Notably, these ...

NASA is offering $1.1 million in prize money in Phase 2 of the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge for new ways to build houses where future space explorers can live and work. The three-part competition asks ...

3D printing isn’t only about creating trinkets and toys — it can also help send humans into space. In a watershed move, NASA has successfully tested a rocket part created via 3D printer, a move that ...

Four researchers will spend more than a year in a 3D-printed habitat, acting as though they're eating, sleeping and living on ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — NASA partnered with Austin 3D printing company ICON to build habitats and infrastructure that could help future explorers of the moon and Mars. NASA said the Moon to Mars Planetary ...

In fall 2024, NASA developed and tested a 3D-printed antenna to demonstrate a low-cost capability to communicate science data to Earth. The antenna, tested in flight using an atmospheric weather ...

The four-person volunteer crew of a NASA mission to simulate a Mars environment have emerged after more than a year in isolation. Ross Brockwell, Anca Selariu, Nathan Jones, and Kelly Haston became ...

In the fall of 2023, NASA hot fire tested an aluminum 3D printed rocket engine nozzle. Aluminum is not typically used for 3D printing because the process causes it to crack, and its low melting point ...

In this video, we explore the significance of NASA's new 3D printed rocket engine, which is 20-30% more efficient than existing models. Utilizing additive manufacturing techniques like 3D printing, ...

The Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) is intended to give NASA and prospective astronauts an idea of what it will be like to live on the surface of Mars. Anca Selariu, Nathan ...
