    Dear Avi.. I am eagerly looking forward for the results... This is really worthy project to be funded.. As it has enormous applications not only on Mars but also on Earth to serve the humanity.. I wish you a very good luck and best wishes..

    I volunteer for Mars One, and I would like to contribute to this project. If I would have been able to pay with PayPal I would have donated by now. At this moment I have a doubt about giving my creditcard info... Good Luck Avishek !

    I'm excited by the discoveries Avishek will make on this topic. On the basis of previous research studies we made together on similar extraterrestrial 3 D printers I am confident that Avishek will again make real breakthroughs.

    Thank you Prof. Favier for the support. Absolutely! The reference data developed from the previous experience working with Moon regolith (JSC 1/1A/1AF) simulant has given some insight to understand the capability of 3D printing process. The comparison of solar and laser sintering data is also helping in that case. Hopefully, we will achieve the best possible outcomes from this experiment.
