    Abstract
  • Chinese Space Station has planned a large number of scientific experiments and applied research. On-orbit support is critical for the accomplishing of manned space mission during the full life cycle of space station. Nevertheless, resources supplied by cargo aircrafts are difficult to be sustainable. The space additive manufacturing technology is a revolutionary and strategic technique for future space exploration, which has the potential to realize manufacturing on the station demand, and will facilitate deeper space exploration by saving logistics from Earth. 3D printing is an important modeling technique to support space manufacturing with its efficiency and flexibility. The latest research of the on-orbit additive manufacturing is summarized, and its on-orbit application pattern is analyzed by taking account of the requirements of Chinese space station and its manned space missions. Moreover, the challenges and solutions of applying additive manufacturing on-orbit are analyzed.
