Forming and densification of lunar regolith simulant based on millimeter-scale energy beam melting

The cost of building a lunar outpost can be greatly reduced by adopting melting of lunar regolith using concentrated solar energy beam based on in-situ additive manufacturing, there are still considerable obstacles to boosting the compactness and mechanical strength of the fabricated samples. The ex...
