NASA has awarded two teams a total of $400,000 in the second part of its three-part 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge.

California-based Made In Space hopes to reduce the time and cost associated with building space structures by using Archinaut robotic 3D printers to assemble the objects in space instead of on Earth.

The agency recently awarded $100,000 to two teams that have completed the first printing segment of the challenge.

NASA has named the winners of its 3D printing Star Trek Replicator Challenge for middle school and high school students.

The Juno spacecraft includes eight brackets that were 3D printed by Lockheed Martin.
