I've been really busy with my studies but I have been still finding articles. These are no longer recent but for the sake of record keeping I would still like to post them on here for your reading pleasure.

Comets, Coming to a Printer Near You
Have you ever bemoaned your lack of a model of a comet? Feel your
bedroom is incomplete without one? Worry no more; you can now 3D print
your own. The ESA has released a model of Comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the duck shaped comet Rossetta will be
Landing on.

Geometric Sweets
Summary: The wonders of 3D printing are never ceasing. Not only is the simple concept of being able to print parts in 3D amazing, but we are now able to print guns, toys, and now food. Yes, from the comfort of your own home, you can now print beautiful little chocolate candies. Admittedly, it does have a high price, but I'm sure in the future the price will plummet.
Aside from being a crazy fun addition to parties, NASA is exploring the possibility of having a food printer for astronauts to use while in orbit.

3D Printed Metal
Summary: I thought 3D printing with the plastic stuff was cool, but now the European Space Agency has plans to 3D print metal parts for spacecraft and even nuclear fusion projects. This is all being done by the Amaze project, a very fitting title I think. And this isn't a dream for the future, they have already been printing with this tungsten alloy. They have already printed metal jet engine parts and airplane wings 2m in size. How cool is that?! The part that makes this so successful, though, in addition to it being a good investment, is how little waste it has. Zero waste in fact. Because of the layering method of building rather than casting, Esa's Franco Ongara says, "To produce one kilo of metal, you use one kilo of metal - not 20 kilos." In addition, since you can print objects as a single piece, you have no need for welding and bolting which makes it heavier and weaker. Ultimately they aim to be able to print a satellite in one piece that would slash costs in half.

3D printing in Space
Summary: Ever on the quest to make space travel more cost efficient while increasing our in orbit capabilities, NASA has decided to bestow a 3D printer upon the astronauts aboard the ISS. This will help provide faster custom solutions instead of having to resort to crazy gaffe tape and plastic bag solutions.
I personally, am very exited. Not only is this very time efficient, watching a 3D printer do its thing is very entertaining.
