Airbus to launch a 3D-printer on the ISS

The printer is called Metal3D and can handle metals that melt at temperatures up to 1,200 °C. The 3D-printer will be used for the first time to print useful structures from scrap metal on the ISS.

According to the company's engineers, the robots will be able to build each other in orbit, but they can also be used to repair and refuel spacecraft.
