The astronauts of the Station International Space are created a new process of 3D printed, that it permits ro realize in the space objects, that in the Earth this objects are impossible to realize because of the gavity.
For example beams particulary long and strong, that it during in the phaseof the realization would tend to deform.
The process is realized of the NASA engineers, and it is more simple, because there is a thin silicone shell, with the object form to realize, it filled with liquid resin.
The resin is photosensitive, when the object is ultimate is illuminated with a little flash, after hardens and is extracted from silicone.
Is the resin and the silicone are material economics and is more simple to find in any bricolage shops.
The resin is injected in silicone stamps with a special appliance the size of a desktop computer, that is arrived from the ISS the previous November.
