When the people of Earth set up bases on the moon, you can imagine that 3D printing will be a key enabling technology. Of course, you could ship plastic or other filament at great cost. But what if ...

Too often we hear that 3D printing is at best only a way for making prototypes before you invest in “real” manufacturing. At worst, it’s a way to make little toys for your desk or cubicle. The ...

To support a potential future lunar base, researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have 3D printed and baked fake Moon dust into screws, gears, and even a coin. Both private and government space ...

Replacing parts on a lunar base could pose a major challenge, since resupplying missions will likely be massively expensive and time consuming. That’s why a group of scientists led by the European ...

In this video, I address the challenge of dust collection on a Ridgid 4251 Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw. After an iterative ...

In this video, I tackle the challenge of dust collection on the Ridgid 4251 miter saw, which has limited standard options due ...

A new technique could allow the first humans on Mars to 3D print everything from tools to temporary housing out of a tough rubber-like material — using only Martian dust. The method could enable the ...

If humankind is to one day colonise Mars, we will need to learn how to produce most of the food and equipment we need to survive on the Red Planet itself. This is because taking materials into space ...

Milan, 6 April 2020 - Can 3D Printers support extra-terrestrial colonisation in Space? One of the major challenges related to space exploration is the development of production technologies capable of ...

Explore the vision for a future lunar base where 3D-printing with moon dust becomes the solution for building materials. Both private and government space agencies have expressed serious intentions ...
