3D printing began to be used in production versions of spaceflight hardware in early 2014, when SpaceX first flew a flight-critical propulsion system assembly on an operational Falcon 9 flight. A number of other 3D-printed spacecraft assemblies have been ground-tested, including high-temperature, hi... Read more

Recently, the Made in Space Recycler launched to the space station for an investigation into which materials are most effective for recycling into 3D printing filament and which ones can hold up over multiple uses without degrading. This investigation is funded and flown through ISS National Lab.
