A 3D-printed beam from the Foster+Partners | Branch Technology team from Chattanooga, Tenn., is tested for strength inside of a press, Friday, Aug. 25, 2017 at Caterpillar, Inc.'s Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Ill. 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 successfu
