Presenting Dr. Eliana Fu: 

Additive Manufacturing is the Key to Unlocking Space 

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is the ideal technology for applications in aerospace and in particular, space exploration. The technical advantages will be discussed with some highlighted examples comparing traditional manufacturing to current AM processes along with the benefits of lead-time and greater access to space. We will also take a quick glimpse into future ideas of printing in space and other worlds. AM is the key to unlocking space.
