The Engineering Edge Podcast - S2 E1: Everyday Tech... That Could Take Us To The Moon

The everyday tech that could take us to the moon!

The Engineering Edge Podcast returns to explore how everyday tech can be used in extraordinary ways. In S2 E1 Lucy discovers how 3D printers could transform the future of space exploration. She talks to Matt Napoli from Made in Space about recycling waste plastic and moon dirt into printer ink, Dr Tommaso Ghidini from the European Space Agency about how future explorers might 3D print new body parts and ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti about the art of 3D printing in space. Plus, can Lucy 3D print with earth dust? 

To follow Lucy's attempt at printing the wrench and also with concrete, then take a look at this step-by-step project: Lucy Printing a 3D Wrench
