RedWorks Aims to Use Martian Soil to Create Buildings on the Red Planet

— April 13, 2016 — Tech
A startup called RedWorks is currently working on a 3D-printing system that will be able to use Martian soil to create buildings and other infrastructure on the Red Planet. While the concept of putting humans on Mars was once considered an impossible feat, the idea may no longer be so far-fetched. This startup is preparing for such as reality by designing technology that will make the Red Planet a hospitable environment for humans.

RedWorks is a startup that aims to address infrastructure needs on Mars. As a result, the company has developed a 3D-printing system that only requires a power source and dirt in order to create new infrastructure. The system works by heating up the dirt to create a type of concrete that can be molded into roads, buildings, fuel tanks or any other object that may be needed.

The startup demonstrates the need to go beyond the idea of simply getting humans to Mars and think about how they will be able to support themselves once they arrive.
Trend Themes
1. 3d-printed Martian Infrastructure - RedWorks is pioneering the use of 3D-printing technology to create buildings and infrastructure on Mars using locally sourced materials.
2. Self-sufficiency on Mars - RedWorks' innovative approach highlights the need to develop technologies that enable humans to sustain themselves on Mars without relying on constant resupply from Earth.
3. Martian Construction Methods - RedWorks' use of Martian soil as a construction material raises the possibility of developing alternative construction methods for future off-Earth projects.
Industry Implications
1. Space Exploration - RedWorks' technology provides opportunities for companies in the space exploration industry to develop innovative solutions for human colonization and infrastructure development on Mars.
2. Construction and Infrastructure - The concept of using locally sourced materials and 3D-printing techniques for construction on Mars opens up new possibilities for the construction and infrastructure industries to explore disruptive innovation.
3. Sustainable Technology - RedWorks' focus on self-sufficiency on Mars highlights the need for sustainable technologies in industries such as energy, waste management, and resource utilization.
