Tiandu scientists successfully prototype lunar regolith 3D printer Aerospace AM
A groundbreaking 3D printing system developed by Chinese scientists at Tiandu Laboratory has explored using only on-site-sourced lunar soil to build habitats, paving the way for the large-scale, on-site construction of lunar research stations. The Deep Space Exploration Laboratory in Hefei, Anhui Province, has successfully prototyped a lunar regolith 3D printer that eliminates the need for Earth-sourced construction materials, according to Yang Honglun, a senior engineer at the lab.
Multifunctional construction 3D printer integrates ‘Shotcrete’ capability Construction 3D Printing
Construction 3D printing specialist COBOD International has developed what it refers to as the “first commercially available multifunctional construction robot”. Engineered in cooperation with Technical University of Braunschweig’s Institute for Structural Design (ITE), the robotic system is capable of both depositing layers of concrete in-situ using COBOD’s gantry-based system and Shotcrete 3D printing thanks to the integration of a telescopic unit with robotic arm. This added functionality facilitates the printing of more complex structures, including those with overhangs, like tunnels, as well as to print retaining walls and to reinforce concrete.
