With a number of locations and seemingly doing busines under different names, the Vistacentâs funded project involves development of an additive manufacturing facility capable of using plastics, fiber reinforce composites, and metals to producing 3D printed parts. Noting that no such printing facility is currently operational having no printing facilities for composites and metals, - the only operational printing facility on the ISS being for plastics such as ABS and PLA,, management suggest an AM technology for composites and metals will be a significant advancement for on demand printing in orbi
