In-Space Additive Manufacturing: A Review

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, 2022
Abstract Manufacturing or repairing parts on-site, high geometric freedom, and feedstock efficiency have long been regarded as nascent capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Researchers aim to adopt these capabilities for the future of space exploration, and polymer AM demonstrations in space were achieved in 2014 ...

Evaporation in space manufacturing

Thermophysics and Heat Transfer Conference, 1974
'Normal evaporation' equations for predicting the compositional changes with time and temperature have been developed and correlated with actual experimental data. An evaporative congruent temperature is defined and used to explain, predict, or plan space experiments on anomalous constitutional melting (on cooling) or solidification (on heating ...

Manufacture in space: the MINOS system

Acta Astronautica, 1981
Abstract The manufacture in Space of products for use on Earth is a possibility for the 1990s. The MINOS project is based on the idea of a free-flyer station for the current medium-level production of either unique products (which cannot be made on Earth), or of economic yields of products which cannot be obtained in sufficient quantities on Earth ...
