Additive Manufacturing

The replacement rover wheel allows the rover to explore, swerve and curve in the martian fields. The rim is made of martian aluminum for support, with hexagonal holes cleats for traction. The tire is made out of rubber and the triangles that cover the rim are PETG red. Its size is 39.5 centimeters, and one complete turn of the wheel drives the rover 1.63 meters.

The hammer tool and also a multi-screwdriver. We wanted to incorporate several tools at once to have the availability to create one piece using less material, the hammering can be utilized not only for the regular tasks we daily have but also helping to accomplish any other task, like making a hole, or digging. Dimensions: 287 mm length hammer, 38 mm length screwdriver tools.

The 1.5 OZ multi-purpose tool spoon, fork, knife, can and bottle opener (see Figure X.) is made of plastic for astronauts can eat and cook. Also, astronauts can use it for their daily science works. It is portable and simplifies astronauts' lives in the martian environment. Its dimensions are ‎7.1 x 1.4 inches.

Space optimization is key on base camps, this is why we are proposing a Murphy Bed with a study desk to have a wardrobe that includes a bed and a desk at the same time, making it very useful to keep clothing and any other personal items handy every day, Its dimensions are 2x 1.4 meters.

Steel for mechanical parts and PETG for the desk and other pieces were selected while choosing this design.

This camp is divided into four equal parts each part has a diameter 1.99 meters and 1.98 meters of altitude. Taking of printing constraints possibilities. The base is made out of regolith, the lower dome is made out of concrete, the dome structural superior base is made of steel 3D printed pipes (which have a multi-purpose functionality) and a PETG red superior cape covers the roof.

It also has integrated concrete tunnels that can be used to connect with more base camps for other needs.

Dimension: 3.98 m diameter (when 4 parts are joined together)
