3D printer manufacture satellite and greatly reduce the cost of satellite - Printing in China

As we have learned, the satellite is led by James at the university of Rome space, power and energy department of electrical engineering and mechanical and aerospace engineering researchers design, test.
Italian scientists at the university of bologna Jacob and his research team recently launched a 3D printing cube satellite, further saving satellite manufacturing cost.
Cube satellite is a kind of size only 10 centimeters or so, weight is less than 1.33 kilograms of mini satellite, mainly used to help the researchers to observe space, measure the earth's atmosphere. It's a big advantage is the deployment of relatively cheap, cost less than $10000, but keep improving scientists did not come to a halt.
With the aid of 3D printers, researchers can easily self-made cube satellite. Jacob said: "we are not even technicians need". The team chose ABS plastic as a cube satellite printing material, its advantage is to adapt to the temperature extremes, vibration, radiation and other severe environment.
Of course, cube satellite sensor and computer chip is not in the lab printed, this team specifically for these electronic components is equipped with a small metal radiator. Researchers in the kind of space environment to print out cube satellite was tested. The final test cube satellite will be sent to space, currently carrying secondary cargo rockets have sent to orbit. (Gold Printing Goup)
