NASA ODME Advanced Toolplate
Project Description
NASA’s On-Demand Manufacturing of Electronics (ODME) Advanced Toolplate is a key component of the ODME system for in-space manufacturing of flexible, hybrid electronics and sensors for structural and crew monitoring systems. The Advanced Toolplate has swappable, miniaturized toolheads, providing advanced deposition and processing capabilities to enable the in-orbit fabrication of complex electronic devices and sensors. The Advanced Toolplate will also benefit the On-Demand Manufacturing of Metals (ODMM) project for multi-materials 3D printing via a fabrication laboratory (FabLab).
