Hefei lab develops lunar soil 3D printing for moon construction
Yang said that the team faced significant challenges in adapting the technology to the moon's extreme conditions. After comparing technical approaches and conducting validation tests, they ultimately chose this approach, which could effectively solve the complex process of capturing and transmitting solar energy for lunar soil molding.
Yang said the prototype's lunar soil molding capabilities have significant implications for lunar infrastructure. It could facilitate the construction of roads, equipment platforms, and buildings, thereby supporting more extensive and sustainable lunar exploration and resource development.
The prototype also validated key technologies, such as lunar energy capture and material extraction, laying the groundwork for deep space resource utilization and energy systems, said Yang.
