Summary
Description
<p>MIS, Inc., under SBIR Phase III contract with NASA, will build a 3D printer that can build objects out of plastic feedstock. NASA will provide insight to ensure that the design and materials meet flight certification (safety, interfaces, and operability) requirements as well as performing qualification and performance testing. The 3D Print payload will demonstrate melt deposition modeling additive manufacturing in a consistent microgravity environment. Lessons learned from this technology demonstration will be incorporated into future generations of advanced manufacturing technology for space applications.</p>
