Published purpose

In the coming years, the initial infrastructure for a future permanent and sustainable lunar base will be deployed. The future lunar economy will prioritize technologies for autonomous, in-situ resource transformation, including part manufacturing by depositing and transforming layers of powder. A future lunar client has already been found and formally supports this project. To meet these needs and fulfil a NASA requirement, this project will develop a comprehensive system for transforming powders into objects and processed products, as well as tests to demonstrate the fabrication of relevant components for the space industry, such as thermal protection tiles. In parallel with the project, immediate applications in the Canadian economy will be developed, particularly the treatment of waste from industrial processes (such as aluminum production and 3D laser printing).
