3-D printing is all the rage, but believe it or not, the technology has been around since the 1980s. The University of Texas at El Paso has been ahead of the game – since 2001, the University has had a center completely dedicated to it.

UTEP’s W.M. Keck Center for 3-D Innovation – a state-of-the-art laboratory focusing on the advancement of 3-D printing, or additive manufacturing – has recently turned its attention to 3-D printed electronics for space.
