Top 1: 3D printed space habitat
Engineers from NASA and Autodesk have now collaborate on developing a 3D print space habitat for astronaut, when they are to stay long-term on the moon or in the future on other planets. By using a robotic extrusion process and a mixture of sediment found on the lunar surface and recycled plastic they have taken steps to building in space.

Going from 3D printed space habitat back to progress here on earth. The researchers at the University of Minnesota say they are currently in the process of implanting new 3D printed devices into rats. These device, 3D printed, includes soft “scaffolds” that helps to hold the cells that will differentiate into neurons to help in cases such as spinal injuries.

As we all know 3D printing can be used in a lot of creative ways. One way is in 3D design, as Matter Hackers introduce Lindsey Bollhoefer, a 3D designer and artist. She uses the technology to expand her creative abilities, bringing fantasy literature and anime into the real world. She creates some really cool items with 3D printing!

And we will end this weeks list with progress in Metal 3D printing. Introducing 3DMP® from Gefertec that is combining the technically mature and highly reliable arc welding method with the CAD data of the metal parts that are to be produced. Could help further smoothen out the integration of Metal 3D printing, check it out here
