Seems like 3D printing organs in space would be really useful and might make financial sense given their importance to people.

- bell-cot 3y agoAny particular reason to believe that "in space" would make 3D printing of organs substantially easier?
- pixl97 3y agoBecause gravity is a bitch when making squishy things. They like to collapse under their own weight before they can harden. Imagine a pipe that is rigid when fluid is flowing though it, but collapses and sticks together when none is present. There would be a massive amount of difficult in attempting to print/build said pipe under pressure. In zero gravity you don't have to worry about pressurizing it, but you do exchange a new set of difficulties.
