Made In Space demonstrates the in-space viability of Archinaut technology during testing in a thermal vacuum chamber at NASA Ames.
Archinaut Program
Made In Space and NASA team up to expand on the vision of in-space manufacturing with the Archinaut program. Archinaut is an in-space robotic manufacturing and assembly capability that builds large scale space assets on-orbit.
Global Manufacturing On Orbit
Following the successful 3D Print mission, Made In Space launches and operates the Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF), the first commercial 3D printer in space, ushering in a new era of manufacturing on orbit. AMF can be utilized by organizations across the planet to manufacture in space. It has printed over 200 tools, assets, and parts in orbit.
Making History
On November 24, 2014, Made In Space and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center remotely operate the 3D Print payload to build the first parts ever made off-Earth.
To the ISS
Made In Space and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center team up to build and fly the 3D Printing in Zero-G Experiment to the International Space Station.
