3D-printing a lunar base


Notes

Could astronauts one day be printing rather than building a base on the Moon?

Could astronauts one day be printing rather than building a base on the Moon? In 2013 ESA, working with industrial partners, proved that 3D printing using lunar material was feasible in principle. Since then, work continues to investigate the technique.
