which asked teams to build a 3D habitat that could shelter humans on Mars. The competition, which began in 2015, was divided into three phases: design, material technologies, and construction.

Any design relies on physical tools to bring its potential to life. That’s why the team is focused on leveraging existing 3D-printing technology and Mars-local materials to make its habitat a reality.
