Handy! 3-D Printing Could Build Moon Bases
And Improve Items Used In Space

<<Two 3-D replicas of a glove worn by European Space Agency astronaut Hans Schlegel. The one on right is lifesize and the other at one-tenth scale. The models were created “using fused deposition modelling of thermoplastic”, ESA stated, at a mechanical workshop at the Netherlands’ European Space Research and Technology Centre.

Neufer, please stop posting completely irrelevant posts on The Bridge. I'm quite annoyed you keep doing so despite having been told many times not to. Don't do it again.

3D printing tech. could also one day be used to recreate bones to avert amputation

I don't think that 3-D printing could replicate the bone marrow.

[BMAONE23]

But it could replicate the hunnycomb spongy bone center where a marrow transplant could take hold

Well, I couldn't say, as I don't know about that kind of stuff. Perhaps you could ask a famous doctor like Gregory House, who seems to know a lot of medical stuff.
