Its significant because researchers say they cant carry everything out to space, and if they forget a tool on a mission they cant come back to get it.

Building on the findings of this study, future research may find better printing materials with the use of different metals or 3D printing techniques.

Researchers from Washington State University (WSU) have found a way to 3D-print tools and rocket parts using Martian regolith mixed with a titanium alloy.

Making things for Mars astronauts on-planet would be a boon for future human missions.

Using a 3D printing technique, a tiny quantity of simulated crushed Martian rock mixed with a titanium alloy created a tougher, high-performance material that could one day be utilized on Mars to produce tools or rocket parts.

For more than the last century, The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) has served the informational, educational, and professional needs of the international ceramics community, and is poised to serve...
