Fused filament fabrication of thermoplastics in high vacuum without convective heat transfer

Fused filament fabrication of thermoplastics in high vacuum without convective heat transfer

Abstract In-space additive manufacturing (AM) offers significant potential to expand human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit and the moon. Although extrusion-based AM has proven feasible in zero gravity, the functionality of such a process in orbit-like vacuum conditions with practically no c...
