SPACE STATION 3-D PRINTER AT WORK IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION–MAKES A NAMEPLATE MADE IN SPACE

Mankind has taken another step forward in its mission to conquer space: 3-D printing in zero gravity.
A 3-D printer delivered to the International Space Station two months ago made its first creation Monday: a faceplate reading "Made in Space, NASA." The plate was to be fixed back onto the printer.
Made in Space refers to the California-based company that supplied the printer.
"When the first human fashioned a tool from a rock, it couldn't have been conceived that one day we'd be replicating the same fundamental idea in space," Aaron Kemmer, chief executive officer, said in a statement, according to Associated Press.
Some 20 more objects will be printed over the next few weeks for analysis back home. NASA hopes to use 3-D printing to make parts for broken space equipment.
