“…In his dissertation thesis, working on a CubeSat power management subsystem for the ALSat#1 mission, Panagopoulos reports that one of the partners of the consortium uses metal additive manufacturing for the structural design of the satellite, without more specific information about the exact technique [38]. A CubeSat structure was also reported to be manufactured using selective laser sintering [39].…”

The emerging technology of 3D printing can not only be used for rapid prototyping, but will also play an important role in space exploration. Additive manufactured parts can be used in diverse space applications, such as magnetic shields, heat pipes, thrusters, etc. Three-dimensional printed parts offer reduced mass, high possible complexity, and fast printability of custom-made objects. On the other hand, materials which are not excessively damaged by the harsh conditions in space and are also printable by available technologies are not abundantly available. This review gives an overview of recent metal additive manufacturing technologies and their possible applications in space, with a focus on satellites and rockets, highlighting already applied technologies and materials and gives an outlook on possible future applications and challenges.
