Additive Manufacturing Facility: 3D Printing The Future In Space
“AMF is our flagship technology onboard the ISS and its versatility and durability have made it a reliable resource for government and commercial customers since its activation in 2016.”
Two Years on the ISS: Additive Manufacturing Facility Celebrates Nearly 100 3D Printed Parts
“Made In Space is currently the only company in the world to be manufacturing in space. … The AMF is far more than an experiment – it’s an actual additive manufacturing facility, a service bureau that just happens to be located in outer space.”
Made In Space to use PEI/PC polymer on International Space Station 3D printing platform
“Made In Space already uses ABS (acrylonitrile butadine styrene) and Green PE (polyethylene) in the Additive Manufacturing Facility adopted by NASA’s artificial low Earth orbit satellite. PEI/PC represents the third material incorporated into its AMF processes.”
Made in Space Talks ‘Teleporting’ and the Future of Space-Borne 3D Printing

Made In Space’s Additive Manufacturing Facility Celebrates First Anniversary Among the Stars
“Since the 3D printer was installed on the International Space Station, 39 prints have been made for customers, with many of them claiming the title of ‘first (insert type of object here) to be 3D printed in space.’ And that’s not counting the parts that were 3D printed for ISS use alone.”
First 3D Tools Printed Aboard Space Station
“Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have manufactured their first tool using the 3D printer on board the station. This is another step in the ongoing process of testing and using additive manufacturing in space. The ability to build tools and replacement parts at the station is something NASA has been pursuing keenly.”
