*Auxilium Biotechnologies has successfully used a 3D bioprinter, called the Auxilium Microfabrication Platform (AMP-1), on the International Space Station (ISS) to print medical devices for the first time.* *What was printed?* They printed eight implantable medical devices for peripheral nerve repair in just two hours. *Why in space?* In microgravity, materials distribute more evenly, allowing for more precise and complex structures that are difficult to create on Earth. *How does it work?* The printer uses preloaded cartridges with biological materials. It requires minimal astronaut involvement—less than a minute per print session. *Why is this important?* This breakthrough shows that biomanufacturing in space is possible, which could improve medical treatments both on Earth and for future space missions. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250205806594/en/Auxilium-Biotechnologies-Successfully-Prints-Medical-Devices-for-the-First-Time-on-the-International-Space-Station
