The possibilities of 3D printing technology in space were tested in December 2018 by cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Oleg Kononenko in general circulation – then they launched the Organ. Auth”, discovered by 3D Bioprinting Solutions laboratories (Russia).
A year and a half later, in May 2020, their American colleague astronaut Andrew Morgan conducted an experiment aboard the ISS by printing a piece of fabric on a BFF bioprinter (manufactured by Techshot and nScrypt).
Now, with the help of a 3D printer developed by the new Tomsk Polytechnic University commissioned by RSC Energia, the ISS crew produced some parts in a month instead of those that had left the design.
short In its structure, the honor of the Tomsk Polytechnic University was accepted by the engineers of the Tomsk state state
The result is a compact, modular device. For example, a working “printing” chamber, increased respiratory failure, thermoregulation and air purification, are completely sealed. This is the ISS crew. security.
