3-Printing Technology for Exoskeleton and Deployable Structure in Space Exploration

초록

Materials used for deep space exploration and wearable robot - exoskeleton to assist the disable - should be lightweight and have a variety of functionality to achieve the give goals. For this purpose, it is required the new structure and its methods for space exploration and exoskeleton should be introduced for easy fabrication and manufacturing process. Recently, 3D-printing technologies with multi-functional structure that can be used for the parts of exoskeleton as well as space application have been started. Various functions and performance of printed structures have been studied developed. In this paper, the progress of the basic researches of functional materials applied to exoskeleton and the space exploration structure will be introduced.
