Abstract

Additive manufacturing using lunar regolith is the most promising approach to the potential establishment of a lunar base. This article analyzes the application of the selective laser sintering/melting (SLS/M) method to lunar soil simulants. Various compositions of regolith simulants used in research are examined, along with the impact of SLS/M parameters (laser power, scanning speed, hatch spacing, layer thickness and laser beam power density) on the properties of the produced products. Special attention is given to the physical and mechanical properties of the products, which determine their suitability for creating structural elements of a lunar base. The review includes an analysis of the challenges and prospects of applying SLS/M to lunar soil simulants. The advantages and disadvantages of using SLS/M technology in lunar construction are highlighted.

月球建筑中选择性激光烧结/熔化技术的研究进展

利用月球风化层的增材制造是最有希望建立月球基地的方法。本文分析了选择性激光烧结/熔化（SLS/M）方法在月球土壤模拟物中的应用。研究中使用的各种风化层模拟物的组成，以及SLS/M参数（激光功率、扫描速度、舱口间距、层厚和激光束功率密度）对产品性能的影响。特别注意的是产品的物理和机械性能，这决定了它们是否适合创建月球基地的结构元素。综述了SLS/M在模拟月球土壤中的应用面临的挑战和前景。强调了在月球建设中使用SLS/M技术的优缺点。
