Immigration to space, construction first. However, how can buildings be built in a space environment without the direct involvement of human labor? 3D printing and robots are gearing up to compete for the banner of the main force in space building development. Perhaps the collaboration between 3D printing and robotics is the optimal solution for future space building development.
In the ancient expeditionary battles, it was said that "the troops and horses did not move, and the grain and grass first went." Nowadays, humans have extended their journey to vast space. Although the goal of immigration aliens has not yet been achieved, some things need to be placed before personnel. Building is one of the important things that needs to be done first. How to build a building in a space environment without the direct involvement of human labor? This requires smart manufacturing technology to make a big difference. At present, 3D printing and robots are gearing up to compete for the banner of the main force in space building development.
Space building, 3D printing is not allowed
Building is one of the main production targets of 3D printing technology. Since its birth more than 30 years ago, 3D printing has dedicated many magical works to the field of earth construction. Nowadays people turn their attention to the development of space architecture, and 3D printing is also one of the best assistants.
In April of this year, Northwestern University researchers developed a new 3D printing technology that can be used for space exploration. They use a simulator to produce a powder material similar to that found on the surface of the moon or Mars to synthesize a 3D printing-specific ink and use 3D printing to produce objects on demand. This technology can help humans build alien homes.
Last month, scientists from the European Space Agency used the moon and solar furnaces simulated by the Earth's volcanic materials to produce raw materials, which were then processed into “moon bricks†by 3D printing. Next, the researchers will simulate the lunar environment and observe whether it is possible to print bricks in 3D under vacuum and high temperature. The ultimate goal of the project is to build buildings on the moon.
Alien house, the robot is on the road
Building a house on an alien planet, the robot is definitely a strong contender for 3D printing. Compared to 3D printing devices, robots have greater flexibility and their mobility is closer to the traditional builder of architecture – humans. Therefore, robots are also favored by many space building development projects.
In December last year, Russia announced that it would send the space robot "Fedor" to the International Space Station to perform spacewalk missions. It can walk, lift weights and use power tools, and even do push-ups and drive the vehicle. The operator uses the VR helmet on the ground to control the activity of the robot. Developers hope that this robot will help build a lunar base in the future, a key task that will help build human bases for the moon and other planets.
