Out Of This World Science: Printing Labs For Microgravity

Stereolithography, also known as resin 3D printing, is an additive manufacturing technique where a laser beam is used to cure liquid resin layer-by-layer to create precise 3D objects. It's known for its accuracy, smooth surface finishes, and ability to produce complex interconnected parts which may be impossible to create using traditional manufacturing techniques.

A recent article published by TCT Magazine highlights work by Yuri, an innovative engineering company which supplies end-to-end solutions to provide biotech products formed in space. Yuri have developed stereolithographic 3D printed modules which are used within a fluidic system to distribute fluids required for microgravity research of biological samples.
