First part of the steps for creating a sintered mold with simulant. (A) Empty sintering vessel out of silica ceramic. (B) First filling of the sintering vessel with simulant. (C) Simple compression of

the simulant can be solidified using sintering processes which gives it a brick-like strength [32,33 ]. This sintering process was used at IRAS to produce regolith
