Shipping spare parts and tools to space comes with a hefty price tag of thousands of dollars per pound. What if the solution lay not in transporting these essentials, but rather in sending a printer that can produce them on demand? This approach would also allow for customization to meet specific needs. One of the most exciting applications of 3D printing is precisely this scenario. In 2014, Barry "Butch" Willmore made history by printing the first tool in outer space, a wrench that demonstrated the potential of this technology. The Navy is now exploring similar possibilities, recognizing that ships at sea face challenges akin to those encountered in space.
