The Foster+Partners | Branch Technology team from Chattanooga, Tenn., poses for a picture with their 3D-printed dome structure after it was strength tested, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017 at Caterpillar, Inc.'s Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Ill. Team members are Platt Boyd, Christopher Weller, Tony Disanto, Bruce Hilbert, Matthew Culver and team lead Melody Rees. NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is advancing the additive construction technology needed to create sustainable housing for deep space exploration.

NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is advancing the additive construction technology needed to create sustainable housing for deep space exploration. Teams are competing in Phase 2: Level 3, for $500,000 in prize money. Teams have to 3D-print structural habitat pieces that will be crush-tested and evaluated, and teams will be awarded prize money for successful completion of competition objectives.
