Not to steal from Alahunter's great knowledge of the final frontier.

Kinda cool to think what the future of 3D printing can be.

ISS Commander Barry Wilmore needed a ratcheting socket wrench recently, and after hearing his request, California-based 3D printing company Made in Space sent him the design for the tool via email, according to Wired UK. This marks the first time an object was designed on Earth and manufactured in space. In total, 21 parts have been printed in space to date.
