3D-Printed Martian Habitat

Sep-15-15 A 3D-printed, dome shelter concept for life on Mars would see the occupants living partially below the ground.

Conceived by the French firm Fabulous, the Sfero shelter would be made using resources from the planet’s substrata for 3D printing, as well as water from the permafrost for insulation. The resources would be accessed by a central pole that would drill into the planet’s soil and extend two robotic arms to harvest the materials for the 3D printer—Mars’s iron oxide that could be fused together to create the layers that form the habitat.
