The aircraft industry and aerospace look at basalt fiber as a promising material.
Basalt plays an important role in 3D-printing surface habitat on the Moon and Mars where it is abundant and easily accessible within the regolith.
The research paper reveals the information about novel basalt fiber-reinforced ABS-plastic to be used for 3D-printing on Mars.
The scientists from Germany have developed a compact laser system designed for lunar regolith 3D printing.
Russian specialists used basalt fabric to create a shield on the new International Space Station’s Russian segment space modules.
The project for basalt fiber production from lunar rocks has been started by the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University.
SETI institute is developing basalt fiber manufacturing technologies for processing Martian basalt rocks
AI SpaceFactory has won the first place in 3D Printing Habitat Challenge for the biopolymer basalt composite 3D printing solution.
The experimental tests proved that basalt fiber reinforced ceramic composite retained its properties up to 1200 °C.
АМС, a developer of 3D winding process using continuous basalt, carbon and glass fibers, and GRADEL have entered into the agreement on cooperation in the aerospace .
NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge focuses on developing a habitat concept for Mars explorers. 3D printed technologies and indigenous materials are an indispensable condition for teams to present a project.
