Lunar Construction
Off-WorldAdditive Construction
Building humanity’s first home on another world will be the most ambitious construction project in human history and will push science, engineering, technology, and architecture to literal new heights. NASA’s investment in space-age technologies like Project Olympus can not only help to advance humanity’s future in space, but also to solve very real, vexing problems we face on Earth.
It's time to return... This time to stay.
How Lunar Construction Works
In order to thrive on the lunar surface, we must learn to “live off the land” using local materials found on the Moon rather bringing buildings materials all the way from Earth. Olympus’ printing technology processes local lunar regolith (moon dust) into a super strong building material using only energy and then 3D-prints structures with it.
Lunar Architecture
Building a sustainable presence on the Moon requires more than rockets. For a permanent lunar presence to exist, robust structures will need to be built on the Moon that provide better thermal, radiation, and micrometeorite protection than metal or inflatable habitats can provide.
Entirely new types of architecture will be required that is purposed designed for additive construction processes like Olympus. From landing pads to habitats, these collective efforts are driven by the need to make humanity a spacefaring civilization.
All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct.

The technology being developed for the harsh lunar environment also
works on other planets – like Mars + Earth
The Lunar environment is open of the most demanding environments for technology development with its lack of atmosphere, high radiation, and extreme temperatures.
By developing the Olympus technologies for such an extreme environment, translation to friendlier environments on planets and moons with atmospheres like Mars and Earth will be faster and more efficient.
From the Moon to Mars:
MEET MARS DUNE ALPHA
Mars Dune Alpha is a real 3D-printed structure for NASA located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. ICON’s Vulcan construction system completed a 1,700 square-foot structure, designed by world-renowned architecture firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, that will simulate a realistic Mars habitat to support long-duration, exploration-class space missions. Mars Dune Alpha takes Project Olympus technology for additive construction and begins to apply to another planetary body.

3D printer for building houses as a business: equipment, cost
Few people know that a 3D printer for building houses as a business can be a very profitable purchase.
3D printing of houses, which is actively gaining popularity, brings excellent profits: the use of such equipment in construction can reduce the construction time to several days and reduce the cost of the entire process several times. nine0003
In this article we will talk about how to buy a 3D printer for printing houses and how to organize a construction business based on such equipment.

How to build houses with a 3D printer
Contrary to popular belief, recent construction 3D printers print houses and building structures not from plastic or silicone, like their usual "brothers" ", but from concrete.
Typically, standard 500 grade cement-based formulations are used for this type of printing. nine0191
As in the case of conventional 3D printers, the construction printer is based on extrusion. First you need to prepare a mortar, which includes cement, fiberglass, sometimes expanded clay and other materials. The printer then extrudes this solution through special nozzles, applying it layer by layer to the base, which allows you to erect the walls of a small building in just a couple of hours .
The printer allows you to quickly "print" all walls and other structures, such as stairs, but roofing must be done by traditional methods - printers capable of printing a high-quality roof do not yet exist.
Of course, after the completion of construction, external and internal finishing, laying of communications, installation of windows and doors will be required.
How fast can you build with a 3d printer
The average print speed of a modern construction printer is seven to ten square meters.
meters per minute, and China is already actively using devices that can print more than 50 "squares" per minute. nine0003
In just a couple of hours, these machines can print a whole house of 200 square meters. Taking into account the finishing and laying of all necessary communications, construction takes from one month to six months.
How much does it cost to build houses using
3D printer? nine0003
For example : the cost of building a small, about 100 square meters, typical country house is only 2.5-3.5 thousand dollars. The cost of such a house with doors, windows, roofing, communications, with external and internal decoration is about 8-10 thousand dollars.
A similar brick building will cost at least twice as much. nine0191 You can sell a printed house with a full finish for 16-25 thousand dollars.
Such a low cost of construction is ensured by low prices for materials and their extremely accurate dosing, as well as high quality of construction: printing does not give any deviations in the corners, and subsequently there is no need to “finish” anything - all walls, openings for doors and windows almost perfectly even, there are also no cracks - the wall turns out to be monolithic.
Construction 3d printer cost
So far, the 3D printing house building industry is in its early stages of development, and few companies produce equipment.
Cheapest to buy printer made in China . The products of the Russian company CJSC Spetsavia, which is based in Yaroslavl, will cost a little more. In terms of price-quality ratio, they are the best on the market.
Models of construction 3d printers
Consider several models of 3d printers offered by the Spetsavia company: nine0003
- S-4063 : This small device is used to print small architectural forms, individual elements for houses, concrete structures up to 18 square meters.
