Directed energy deposition (DED) is a branch of additive manufacturing (AM) processes in
which a feedstock material in the form of powder or wire is delivered to a substrate on which …

The present study has investigated to what extent additive manufacturing technologies can
be successfully applied to the construction of large-scale structures. The central concept of …

Additive manufacturing (AM), trendily known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is an
emerging technology capable of converting computer-aided designs into physical objects …

The authors demonstrated the feasibility of sintering lunar regolith layer-by-layer solely
using concentrated sunlight. First trials using actual concentrated sunlight led to an …

In-situ resource utilization on the Moon and/or Mars is a cutting-edge hotspot for exploring
outer space. Lunar/Martian regolith is an in-situ natural resource for construction habitats …

Low-cost robust processes are needed to produce construction materials for habitats and
civil infrastructure in the early stages of the development of a permanent base on the moon …

Instead of foreseeing and preparing for all possible scenarios of machine failures, accidents,
and other challenges arising in space missions, it appears logical to take advantage of the …

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), together with the European Space Agency …

Manufacturing or repairing parts on-site, high geometric freedom, and feedstock efficiency
have long been regarded as nascent capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) …

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 …
