3D Printing and Swarm Tech

Autonomous artificial swarm robots will be used for their potential for efficient search and rescue missions, construction efforts, environmental remediation, and medical applications. Lab additive printing can be limiting in terms of size, with the current largest lab printer BAAM at 6100mm x 2290mm x 1830 mm.

However, printing technology in architecture is advancing everyday. With project LASIMM (Large Additive Subtractive Intergrated Modular Machine) by Foster and partners and other firms we are able to develop massive scale projects that break the restriction of a print isolated box and are allin-one hybrid machines that enable the production of building components straight from CAD files. These machines feature robotic arms that are mobile and fast and enable distanced construction on a massive scale.

1 | Core Phase

The first phase would be life in the “core structure” which is pre-fabricated in the form of a lander spacecraft. It comprises of all elements of the spatial program and all the essentials needed for survival. Furnishings and walls that would be complex to achieve with robots along with the HVAC and ECLSS systems arrive within this core.

2 |HABITAT PHASE

This stage would involve the expansion of the habitat into the inflatable area. Robots would be deployed from the core and they would start sintering regolith or another suitable material to create the walls. Re-arrangement and expansion of facilities is the main purpose of this stage.

3 | HOME PHASE

Transformation of the habitat into the occupants‘ home is the main goal of this phase. Furnishings and the growth of plants inside the greenhouse add to a more earth-like environment. The crew is settled in and starts working on the luxury elements of each area, that are not essential for sustaining life but are vital to form a home.
