Stratasys materials to undergo space testing in upcoming lunar mission

Aimed at testing their performance on the moon's surface, Stratasys is set to contribute 3D-printed materials to a lunar mission. The experiments will explore the effectiveness of a tungsten-filled Antero 800NA FDM filament for radiation shielding, the space performance of Antero 840CN03 FDM filament with ESD properties used in the Orion spacecraft, and a new ESD photopolymer designed for high-heat environments.
