About this technology
Overview
PrintSpace 3D founder Mark Jaster built the expertise he needed to design the Altair 3D printer in part during his years at Glenn Research Center, where he learned about cutting-edge materials, thermal management, and more. His printers now sell to universities, businesses, and research labs across the United States and overseas, and his Rexburg, Idaho-based PrintSpace 3D is working on adding metals and advanced materials to the more than 25 materials its printers can already use.
