This is pretty cool – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24329296

"Imagine an astronaut needing to make a life-or-death repair on the International Space Station," said Aaron Kemmer, the company’s chief executive.

"Rather than hoping that the necessary parts and tools are on the station already, what if the parts could be 3D printed when they needed them?"

And if you break your pipe along the way, you can just print a new one… :steamroller
