Welding materials on the moon

Before humans can colonize the moon or Mars, scientists and engineers must first develop techniques for building permanent structures and pressurized habitats in harsh, thin-atmosphere and low-gravity environments.

Dr. Wei Li, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas, is developing a virtual lunar welding platform to troubleshoot assembling large structures in such conditions.

“As we try to return to the moon and reach Mars, keeping astronauts safe while achieving the missions is very important,” said Dr. Edward White, professor and department head of mechanical engineering and holder of a Jonsson School Chair. “Being in Earth’s orbit is a lot easier knowing that when things go wrong, we can make repairs and return safely. I’m really excited that Dr. Li’s research will help play an important role in making space travel safer and will enable us to successfully complete space missions.”

Li recently received an Early Stage Innovations three-year grant from NASA for up to $750,000 to support his study of welding on the surface of the moon. He was one of six researchers nationwide selected to receive the 2024 annual award, which is designed to accelerate the development of groundbreaking, high-risk/high-payoff space technologies.

“There are three main challenges for the astronauts working on the moon’s surface,” Li said. “The moon has a very thin atmosphere, so there are steep temperature changes, from around minus 387 degrees Fahrenheit to 260 degrees Fahrenheit. There is also an extreme vacuum environment due to the thin atmosphere. Finally, the gravity on the moon’s surface is only about one-sixth that of the Earth. The extreme environment can complicate the reliable implementation of building or manufacturing large structures on the moon’s surface and can lead to manufacturing defects.”

Welding metal in such an environment can cause defects that impact the material’s load-bearing capability, leading to fractures and ductile cracks; nevertheless, in-space assembly is vital to NASA’s long-term exploration goals, Li said.

“It would be very hard to establish regular machine shops on the moon’s surface to manufacture metal structures as we do on Earth,” Li said. “However, it could be possible to use spacecraft to ship metal components from the Earth to the moon, then deploy welding technology there to assemble the components into large structures that could enable the establishment of a human community.”

Li’s project will simulate lunar conditions to test the processes of electrical arc, laser and electron-beam welding in that type of environment. His virtual lunar welding platform simulates the welding process and welding-joint mechanical properties with a multiple-physics modeling approach. Among the equipment he is using is a custom-built, directed energy deposition machine, a technology typically used for additive manufacturing of metals. Li said the research also could be applied to fused deposition modeling, a type of 3D-printing process that can print nonmetallic parts in space.

Li, who directs the Comprehensive Advanced Manufacturing Lab in the Jonsson School, will work with his team to create the simulated environment at UT Dallas while working directly with NASA researchers, including Dr. Fredrick Michael from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

Li said his team will validate the simulation framework and modeling results with both space-based and on-the-ground experiments, as well as with historical experimental flight data from Skylab, the first U.S. space station. He said the model could be developed further for other space environments, including Mars and the International Space Station.

Argentinosaurus huinculensis

(temporal range: 96.2-92.19 mio. years ago)

[text from the Wikipedia article, see also link above]

Argentinosaurus is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina. Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 metres (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 tonnes (72–88 short tons). It was a member of Titanosauria, the dominant group of sauropods during the Cretaceous. It is widely regarded by many paleontologists as the biggest dinosaur ever, and perhaps lengthwise the longest animal ever, though both claims have no concrete evidence yet.

The first Argentinosaurus bone was discovered in 1987 by a farmer on his farm near the city of Plaza Huincul. A scientific excavation of the site led by the Argentine palaeontologist José Bonaparte was conducted in 1989, yielding several back vertebrae and parts of a sacrum—fused vertebrae between the back and tail vertebrae. Additional specimens include a complete femur (thigh bone) and the shaft of another. Argentinosaurus was named by Bonaparte and the Argentine palaeontologist Rodolfo Coria in 1993; the genus contains a single species, A. huinculensis. The generic name Argentinosaurus means "Argentine lizard", and the specific name huinculensis refers to its place of discovery, Plaza Huincul.

The fragmentary nature of Argentinosaurus remains makes their interpretation difficult. Arguments revolve around the position of the recovered vertebrae within the vertebral column and the presence of accessory articulations between the vertebrae that would have strengthened the spine. A computer model of the skeleton and muscles estimated this dinosaur had a maximum speed of 7 km/h (5 mph) with a pace, a gait where the fore and hind limb of the same side of the body move simultaneously. The fossils of Argentinosaurus were recovered from the Huincul Formation, which was deposited in the middle Cenomanian to early Turonian ages (about 96 to 92 million years ago) and contains a diverse dinosaur fauna including the giant theropod Mapusaurus.

The Future in Layers: Understanding 3D Printing

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is transforming how we design, create, and innovate. What once belonged to the realm of science fiction is now a powerful tool used in industries ranging from healthcare to aerospace. By building objects layer by layer from digital models, 3D printing offers flexibility, customization, and speed that traditional manufacturing often can’t match. 3D Printing

How 3D Printing Works At its core, 3D printing begins with a digital design, usually created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The model is then sliced into thin horizontal layers. The 3D printer reads these slices and deposits material — usually plastic, resin, metal, or even food — layer by layer until the final object takes shape.

There are several types of 3D printing technologies, including:

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) — Melts plastic filament and extrudes it layer by layer.

Stereolithography (SLA) — Uses UV light to cure liquid resin into solid layers.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) — Uses lasers to fuse powdered material, often metals or plastics.

Applications of 3D Printing

Healthcare: 3D printers are used to create prosthetics, dental implants, and even bioprinted tissues. Customization is key — no two patients are the same, and 3D printing makes it possible to tailor medical devices to individual needs.

Manufacturing: Prototyping with 3D printing is faster and more cost-effective than traditional methods. Companies can test and modify designs before full-scale production.

Education: Schools and universities use 3D printing to bring concepts to life in science, engineering, and art.

Architecture: Architects can produce detailed models and even explore 3D-printed housing for rapid, affordable construction.

Fashion & Art: Designers use 3D printing to create unique jewelry, clothing, and sculptures, often unachievable by hand.

Advantages of 3D Printing

Customization: Easily adapt designs for specific users or needs.

Speed: Rapid prototyping accelerates product development.

Reduced Waste: Additive processes use only the material needed.

Accessibility: Desktop 3D printers make production possible at home or in small businesses.

Challenges and Limitations Despite its promise, 3D printing faces challenges. Materials can be expensive or limited in strength and durability. Printing large objects can be time-consuming, and the technology still requires skilled operators for optimal results. Regulatory and safety standards are also developing to catch up with rapid innovation.

The Future of 3D Printing Looking ahead, 3D printing is poised to revolutionize supply chains, reduce environmental impact, and even explore new frontiers like space manufacturing. As the technology matures, we may see everyday products — from shoes to electronics — custom-printed just for us.

How fast is 3D printing?

How fast can 3D printing be? In what scenarios can it really bring the dual advantages of speed and cost? This article will compare mainstream 3D printing technologies (such as FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF) with traditional processes (such as CNC, injection molding, casting), combined with typical production scenarios, to dismantle the technical core and commercial significance of "3D printing speed" for you.

I believe that after reading this article, you will have a clearer answer to "when to use 3D printing and why it is so fast and meaningful".

Fast 3D Printing vs. Traditional Crafts: Which is Faster?

Before we compare specific technologies, let's clarify a basic issue: FDM (fused deposition modeling), SLA (stereolithography), MJF (multi-jet fusion), these names are all different molding principles of 3D printing. They each have their own unique printing methods, material adaptability and speed performance, so they have their own advantages in efficiency. In sharp contrast to them, traditional manufacturing processes such as CNC, injection molding, and casting also have completely different production capacity structures and response rhythms. Let's disassemble them one by one to see whether 3D printing technology can catch up in terms of speed.

FDM vs. CNC

When you need to make a small tool sample urgently (for example, wThe advantage of this technology lies not only in its speed, but also in its flexibility. In particular, after adjusting the nozzle diameter (such as above 0.6mm), the nozzle speed can reach 150 mm/s, and a medium-complex part with a height of 100mm can be printed within 1 hour. FDM has obvious advantages in printing speed, which can significantly improve molding efficiency and is suitable for rapid prototyping and testing of medium-complexity prototypes.hen the design is completed at 3 pm and the installation verification is required in the evening), FDM (fused deposition modeling) technology will be the best solution.

But if it is changed to CNC, the delivery time is often measured in days due to the preparation of process documents, debugging of tool fixtures, and cutting process.

SLA/DLP vs. Injection Molding

SLA (stereolithography) is known for its high precision, with a layer thickness of 0.025–0.1 mm, an accuracy of up to ±25μm, and a molding speed of about 10–30 mm/h. The advantage of SLA printing speed is not its high speed, but its ability to output stably while maintaining surface quality, which is suitable for scenes with high requirements for process consistency.

DLP (digital light processing) is more efficient in printing. It increases the printing speed to 50-100 mm per hour by exposing the entire layer of the image at the same time, which is particularly efficient in the production of small-sized and large-quantity parts. The advantage of DLP printing speed is that it can quickly respond to batch requirements. It keeps a certain degree of accuracy while minimizing the unit molding time.

In contrast, although injection molding is very fast in single-piece molding speed, its overall delivery cycle is often extended by the pre-process of "mold development", which usually takes several days or even weeks and is accompanied by high costs. If the product design is frequently adjusted, the trial and error cost of repeated mold changes will also be very high.

SLM vs. Metal Casting

The biggest feature of SLM is that it can print complex structures in one go - for example, parts with through holes, buckles, and grids, without any support. Since SLM does not require mold opening and prefabrication processes, it can significantly speed up the overall delivery speed in the early stages of product development.

In contrast, although metal casting has cost advantages in mass production, the preparation process is long - mold design, casting cooling, and deburring often take several days or even a week. If you encounter a business scenario that requires rapid iteration, metal casting technology is basically unsolvable.

How fast 3D printing wins in three major scenarios with speed

In addition to the differences in the technology itself, the advantages of 3D printing speed also vary in different practical scenarios. From R&D proofing to mass production, we take a panoramic look at its actual performance at the application level.

Rapid prototyping

In the early stages of hardware product development, whether or not samples can be produced within a day often determines the efficiency of project iteration. Compared with traditional manufacturing that requires production scheduling, mold making, and debugging, 3D printing can achieve same-day design and same-day delivery. FDM printing is suitable for structural verification and preliminary testing, while SLA can achieve high-quality appearance models with a resolution of ±25μm. No mold is required, and samples can be produced directly, which is the biggest speed advantage of 3D printing in the prototype stage.

3D printing technology understands that prototype verification is not a one-time delivery, but a cycle mode of rapid trial and error-instant correction to promote continuous product evolution. Making trial and error fast and low-cost is the key force that 3D printing technology gives to the rhythm of product development.

Small batch custom production

When products pursue personalization and frequent iterations, the mold development and assembly processes of traditional manufacturing often cannot keep up with the pace. 3D printing technologies such as MJF and SLM do not require mold opening and can directly print finished parts. Taking MJF as an example, the industrial model has an hourly output of more than 3,000 cm⊃3;, which is suitable for typical scenarios such as orthopedic brackets and customized shells.

The key to small-batch customization is not the unit cost, but the response speed of delivery and the freedom of design. 3D printing provides a new generation of flexible manufacturing path.

Large-scale standardized production

Although injection molding and CNC still dominate in mass manufacturing, 3D printing is becoming an accelerator for early verification. In the stages of new product trial sales and regional testing, 3D printing can deliver hundreds of samples within a few days, seize the market time window, and reduce the risk of repeated mold modifications.

In mass manufacturing, 3D printing is not a substitute, but an accelerator. It helps companies quickly try and fail in uncertainty and make more informed judgments before formal mass production.

In an era where manufacturing efficiency has become a competitive threshold, the speed dividend of 3D printing has moved from prototypes to mass production, from innovation to profits. It can not only fill the response window of traditional processes, but also provide a decision buffer in uncertainty. The question is not whether 3D printing can be used, but when it is most cost-effective to use it. The following table summarizes the performance of various manufacturing methods in terms of speed, flexibility and cost under different production goals, helping you to judge at a glance:

3D printing is not the opposite of traditional manufacturing, but a powerful complement to it. From rapid prototyping, flexible trial production to product verification, it allows companies to conduct trial and error quickly and at low cost, speeding up the pace of every idea to implementation. This is exactly the key point mentioned at the beginning of the article: the real manufacturing advantage does not lie in how fast the machine runs, but in whether you can use "speed" on the blade of innovation at the right time.
