| May 14, 2019 at 8:25 | comment | added | GdD | Martian soil is not mostly iron oxide, it's maybe 2%, see this previous question. space.stackexchange.com/questions/10785/…. So are you asking if raw martian soil could be used in a 3d printer, or whether iron oxide could be once it is extracted? | |
| May 14, 2019 at 7:58 | comment | added | GittingGud | It wouldn't work as a blast furnace as such furnace needs a lot of oxygen to work and does create not pure iron but rather iron and slag (all the undesired materials) and with "simple" slm/sls printer I don't see anyway to remove the slag. Nevertheless you might not care about if you want to use the procedure for creating a foundation or walls but it wouldn't be nice for proper precision equipment. | |
