"SpiderFab, a series of technologies under development by Tethers
Unlimited, Inc. (TUI), combines 3D printing and robotic assembly to
build and create spaceship components and structures in orbit. The
groundbreaking systems are being designed to enable on-orbit
construction of antennas, booms, solar arrays, trusses and other
multifunctional components, ten to hundreds of times larger than
currently possible with existing technology".
