14.1 | 16 | ESA has developed a zero-g compatible 3d printer to be deployed during AMADEE-20 in the habitat to investigate its performance under field conditions. ESA’s Manufacturing of Experimental Layer [[image:MELT_manifest.png||height="155" style="float:right" width="161"]]Technology (MELT) project printer has to be able to operate from any orientation, based on the ‘fuse filament fabrication’ process, it has been designed to fit within a standard ISS payload rack, and to meet the Station’s rigorous safety standards. |
17 | The MELT printer can print a wide variety of thermoplastics from ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), up to high-melting point engineering thermoplastics such PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), which is robust enough to substitute for metal materials in some cases. | ||
