AI SpaceFactory<\/a> was founded in 2017 by David Malott to create technologies for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars, with the goal of revolutionizing the construction industry on Earth. The company\u2019s technologies won first place in the NASA 3D Printed Habitat Challenge in 2019.<\/p>\n

Now, AI SpaceFactory is devising 3D printing buildings with recycled waste and local resources. These buildings, called TERAs, will reduce landfill waste and our collective carbon footprint, leading to carbon-negative construction. It relies on completely autonomously performing robots to keep construction workers safe from dangerous jobs.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the company will begin a multi-year pilot program to build TERAs in locations across the US and globally.<\/p>\n
