Speech title: In-Space Additive Manufacturing
Abstract: In-space Additive manufacturing (ISAM) in space offers a transformative solution to the limitations of launch vehicle size and mass, enabling on-demand production of tools, parts, and structures beyond Earth. By fabricating components directly in orbit or on planetary surfaces, ISAM expands the design possibilities for space infrastructure and reduces dependence on costly resupply missions. However, significant technical challenges remain. In microgravity, controlling liquids, powders, and molten materials is difficult, limiting the range of viable Additive manufacturing technologies. Currently, Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED), where one extrudes solid polymer filaments and the other melts metal wire feed by laser, are the most practical approach demonstrated in space. Yet, factors like surface tension, lack of gravity, and vacuum conditions affect print precision and mechanical performance. This seminar explores the development background and current status in the field, and presents recent research progresses on gravity and vacuum effects on FDM and DED processes by Earth-based experimental investigation and multi-physics modeling conducted in Space Engineering Lab at York University.
