We are proud to partner with the Mars One project, and one day we hope to send a LulzBot printer to the red planet. Founded upon the philosophy of a free exchange of ideas and technology, we share the same perspective as those on the Mars One project, that it is up to us to inspire future generations to believe all things are possible. From printing plastic parts to working with wood, metal and even advanced materials such as living cells, the future is bright. It is through the determined effort to push the boundary of this cutting edge industry that we will make history, together.
Our technology enables you to print virtually anywhere – even upside down in low G or zero G environments. When the Mars One astronauts are settled into their new home, it will be 3D printers that enable them to repair, rebuild and innovate. Research is now being conducted to enable the reuse and recycle of nearly all waste products into fully functional extrusion cores for 3D printers—saving millions of dollars in transport of new tools, clothing, and replacement parts. The result is less overhead and fewer resources for supply missions to Mars. They definitely have the right stuff.
