Constructor Talks: 3D Printing in Space with Dr. Yilmaz Uygun


Listen Later

Colonizing outer space may be closer than we think. Challenges are of course plentiful - and one of the biggest is manufacturing in space.

In this new episode of Constructor Talks, Dr. Yilmaz Uygun, Professor of Logistics and Chair of the Supply Chain Management program at Constructor University, explains how 3D printing could enable tools, spare parts and infrastructure to be produced beyond Earth, using raw materials found on the Moon, planets or even asteroids.

The research behind these ideas started at Constructor University and eventually led to the creation of Nebulaform, a startup developing space manufacturing technologies that has been accepted into the European Space Agency incubator program.

It is a fascinating example of how university research can evolve into innovation with real-world impact.
