Description:
|
Additive manufacturing of Martian soil has a great potential for development of future infrastructure on Mars. Binder-based construction techniques are strongly dependent on curing conditions. This project studies the effect of different curing condition on properties of 3D printed Mars soil simulant. Tasks include background study, experiment design and data analysis |
