NASA GRX-810 3D-Printed Superalloy
3D-printing homes is one thing, NASA successfully 3D-printed a superalloy that is not only 1,000-times more durable than standard alloys, but can withstand temperatures up to 2,000-degrees Fahrenheit. It’s called GRX-810 and essentially an oxide dispersion strengthened alloy, which means miniature particles containing oxygen atoms spread throughout the alloy enhance its strength.

NASA CHAPEA 3D-Printed Mars Habitat April 11
ICON’s Project Olympus may be years away, but NASA’s CHAPEA, a 3D-printed Mars habitat, will be open to media on April 11th before a crew enters for a yearlong mission. This will be the first of three planned mission in NASA’s CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) habitat and scheduled to begin in June when the volunteer crew, who are not astronauts, enter,
