This paper explores the use of a lunar regolith analog, Basalt of Pic d Ysson (BPY), for selective laser melting (SLM) to produce 3D-printed objects with improved mechanical properties. The study investigates the impact of amorphous content, substrate type, and post-SLM annealing on compressive strength. The paper references simulants for measuring physical properties like thermal conductivity and sintering behavior but does not provide specific simulant identifiers.
These are the records this paper contributes to the simulant, returned sample, method, and property browsers.
