NASA’s challenge to adapt additive manufacturing for robots on Mars is only one sign 3D printing is becoming a reality in construction ...

3D printers will make the tools, structures, and habitats space pioneers need to survive in a hostile alien environment.

3D printers will make the tools, structures and habitats space pioneers need to survive in a hostile alien environment. They will enable long-term human presence on the moon and Mars.

A team competing in NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge worked with Techmer PM to develop materials that could one day be used to house human visitors to Mars.

"Our long term vision is to 3D print the first rocket made on Mars." Rather than trying to use the same rocket that took you to Mars, you'd be able to travel to Mars and 3D print your own ride home.

3D printing will play an important role in the future when humanity leaves Earth for destinations such as the moon and Mars, a Penn State researcher writes.

NASA has commissioned high-profile architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) to design a 3D-printed simulated Mars habitat, and is accepting applications from would-be participants willing to ...
