Optomec (Albuquerque, New Mexico), a leading global supplier of production-grade additive manufacturing systems for 3D printed electronics and metals, recently announced that the company was awarded a NASA SIR contract for the further development of an adaptive laser sintering system (ALSS). The success of this endeavour will enable electronic circuitry to be printed onto a wider variety of temperature sensitive substrates expanding its use for production applications. The fully automated system will also enable printed circuitry to be repaired or manufactured with minimal human intervention paving the way for its use in long duration NASA space missions.
