Martian Colony Could Be 3D Printed With The New Technology Invented By Northwestern Engineers

Medicine & Technology Apr 18, 2017

A new method has used simulated Martian and lunar dust to 3D print flexible, tough rubber tools.The near lack of an atmosphere and weather on Mars does have some advantages, as does the highly reduced gravity compared to Earth. The 3D printed buildings will not need to withstand strong winds or gravitational pressure, which will add to the longevity of the infrastructure.
