"We are applying different techniques to shape the material into a 3D structure and scale up the production process, so that we can come a step closer to industrialisation." ...

Elon Musk has announced that 3D printing will be the key to populating Mars in the next 10 years, we took a look at the plan.

For starters, the construction material is made of a basalt composite, something no other competitors used and the team says, could easily be made on Mars. That's because Mars has basalt speckled ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is regularly used on the ground to quickly produce a variety of devices.

They will enable long-term human presence on the Moon and Mars. On Earth, 3D printing can fabricate, layer by layer, thousands of things, from replacement hips to hammers to homes. These devices take ...

and materials cool and recrystallize differently. The Moon has one-sixth the gravity of Earth; Mars, about two-fifths. Engineers and scientists are working now to adapt 3D printers to function in ...
