Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...

3D printing, or more accurately, additive manufacturing, is more than just a fad, and the automotive industry is providing more and more examples of this. The most obvious is Czinger, whose 21C ...

AI models are designing new metal alloys that have been 3D-printed and tested in the lab. The results are then fed back into the AI to accelerate alloy discovery.

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge difference in the technology.
