3D Printing in Space has a wide range of application potential in the construction and maintenance of satellite payload， rockets， spacecraft in orbit throughout the life cycle， deep space exploration missions， etc. It is one of the key space technologies that many countries are vigorously developing. To certain extent， it affects the research progress of major aerospace projects such as lunar base construction， and deep space navigation and exploration， and is also one of the areas of focus for researchers and enthusiasts of aerospace technology.
3D printing， also known as additive manufacturing， is a manufacturing process that creates three-dimensional physical objects from digital model fles by depositing raw materials layer by layer. It is an intuitive expression method from the virtual conceptual space to the real physical world. 3D printing is not only a cutting-edge technology， but also a mature idea with a history. As early as the 1940s， from the inception of the concept of 3D printing， scientists have been trying to use this intuitive means to pile up conceptual structures. But not until the 1980s， the world’s frst commercial 3D printer that combined computer drawing， solid-state lasers， and resin curingtechnologycameout，breakingtheshacklesof3Dprinting.Sincethen， withthe use of various materials for printing and the invention of various printing processes including fused deposition， laser sintering， and photopolymerization， 3D printing can now manufacture complex structures from polymers， ceramics， metals to amorphous alloys.
3D printing is a revolutionary manufacturing technology. Because of its disruptive process and the huge potential to change current manufacturing processes， it has attracted widespread attention in all walks of life. It is hailed as one of the key technologies in Industry 4.0 era. In the future， humans will explore even broader spaces， and 3D printing is aiding the path of human space exploration.
For aerospace activities such as on-orbit work， space travel， deep space exploration， and planetary base construction， a series of problems such as scarce raw materials， high transportation costs， and long cycles makes space 3D printing a key means to break through the limitations of aerospace mission material shortages. 3D printing can help astronauts create objects on demand in space， such as replacement parts for repairs， custom equipment for scientifc experiments， and even necessities for human settlement in space such as food and buildings， revolutionizing the way space is explored. At present， space agencies around the world are considering building 3D-printed planetary bases on the moon or even Mars in the near future.
This book uses a graphic explanation method to elaborate on the application and prospects of 3D printing technology in space. The book includes four parts and eight chapters. The frst part， including Chaps. 1 and 2， mainly introduces the conceptof3Dprintingandthecurrentmainstream3Dprintingtechnology，explaining why to develop 3D printing technology in space， the difference from the ground， and the challenges faced. The second part， including Chaps. 3， 4 and 5， mainly introduces the state-of-the-art of in-orbit 3D printing technology and some application examples. The third part， including Chap. 6， mainly introduces the application of new materials and new technologies used in 3D printing in space. The fourth part， including Chaps. 7 and 8， describes the future development prospects of 3D printing in space and the technological concepts of 3D printing for material self-suffciency in astronaut survival， medical care， and fight missions.
This book has also received guidance from several experts and scholars. Here， we would like to thank Guobao Feng， Shiwei Dong， Qi Li， Shuo Liu， and Yafeng Li from the China Academy of Space Technology (Xi’an) for their valuable sugges-tions and support.

3D Printing in Space is an emerging， cross-disciplinary， sub-technical feld. In recent years， with the rapid development of computer technology， robotics tech-nology， and intelligent manufacturing technology， various space powers have gradu-ally planned the development blueprint of 3D printing. It is timely to write an easy-to-understand book， summarizing the current technical status and future prospects. This book refers to and quotes some related literature from global aerospace insti-tutions. The completion of this book benefts from the conception and realization of these pioneering works， and we would like to express our deep gratitude.
Owing to the limitation of our knowledge， there must be mistakes and errors in the book. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
