So my ATEC TA showed this video in class today (or, like, 5 minutes ago). This is actually pretty amazing stuff. I can't even wrap my mind around how much work must be put into the project to make it work. Apparently, they're trying (or already are) to use this technology in the space program. If the astronauts need something, instead of shipping the item, they do 3D printing in the space shuttle. So if the astronauts don't have a wrench, they can print out a wrench. According to the TA, the most affordable one is around $1,700. That's not bad at all. He said that Quad C (Collin College) already has one. Why doesn't UTD have one?
