“…In [94,95,98], four samples were fabricated and tested using only Portland and Sorel, three using casting and one using additive construction. The constituents of each sample are shown in Table 5.…”

“…Testing included impact by a 2 mm sphere travelling at 7 km/s to simulate the potential damage caused by micrometeorites, compression, and visual inspection. Results showed that sample 3 was not as resistant as the others to micrometeorites and they noticed that the lunar regolith cement had shallower penetration depth than the ones with Martian regolith [98,94].…”

Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a manufacturing technique where successive layers of material are layered to produce parts. The design freedom afforded by AM is ideal for the space industry, where part production is low volume and highly customized. The objective of this paper is to review research in the area of Additive Manufacturing For Space (AMFS) in all areas, from propulsion to electronics to printing of habitats, and to identify the gaps and directions in the research. In this paper we investigate the AMFS research by splitting it into two domains: space and ground-based. Space-based AMFS has been performed on the International Space Station using polymers and we also discuss the future of in-space AM, a subject closely related to more general in-space manufacturing. The ground-based research is split into three categories based on the printing material: metal, polymer, and other. The last category includes regolith, cement, and ceramic. This paper explores AMFS by bringing together as much research information as possible using a combination of papers, presentations, and news articles. We expect that the paper will allow the reader to gain an understanding of the current status of AMFS research and will contribute to the field as a reference and research guidelines.

“…The mixtures contained different additives (boric acid, stucco mix, and fly ash) to establish the proper rheology for printing, but the ultimate compressive strength (Fig. 15) was weaker than OPC, and its hypervelocity impact resistance was not ideal for planetary surface environments [29]. Different MgO-based cements are currently under study (e.g., MgO and magnesium chloride, magnesium oxysulfate).…”

Disruptive technologies are unique in that they spawn other new technologies and applications as they grow. These activities are usually preceded by the question, "What If?" For example, "What if we could use an emerging technology and in-situ materials to promote exploration on the Moon or Mars, and then use that same technology to keep our troops out of harm's way and/or help the worlds' homeless?" This question allows us to flip the mindset of "how can people create more valuable innovation?" to "how can innovation create more valuable people?." This approach allows us to view augmented human labor as an inclusive opportunity, not a threat.The discipline of Additive Construction is growing rapidly due to the flexibility, speed, safety and logistics benefits offered as compared to standard construction techniques. Additive construction is a disruptive technology in that it employs the principles of additive manufacturing on a human habitat structure scale. Developed initially for
