摘要:

太空增材制造技術在地面和在軌設施制造、空間補給保障、減少運輸和備件數量、應對突發狀況和促進深空探索等方面均顯現出了明顯優勢，本文對太空增材制造技術的應用需求和應用模式進行了分析和探討。通過對現有太空增材制造技術發展現狀、技術規劃和潛在前景的調研和討論，結合我國空間站和太空探索的實際需求，將太空增材制造技術的應用環境劃分為地表制造、在軌制造（空間艙內環境、在軌原位環境）和行星表面環境。根據每種應用環境的特定條件詳細探討了太空增材制造技術在空間領域的各類潛在可行的應用模式，并對每種應用模式的現狀和關鍵技術進行了詳細分析。此外，對國內外太空增材制造技術的研究進展進行了簡要描述，對太空增材制造技術的關鍵技術進行了分析，可為我國太空增材制造技術的未來發展路徑提供參考。

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing in space has shown obvious advantages in several fields such as on-ground or in-situ manufacturing， space supplies，reducing spares and transportation, emergency response and promoting deep space exploration. This paper analyzes and discusses the application requirements and modes of the additive manufacturing (AM) in space. Based on the investigation of the current situation, technical plans and the potential development of AM in space, combined with the actual requirements of China’s space station and deep exploration, this paper defines the space AM application environments into three categories: on ground, in-situ(in cabin and in orbit)and planet surface. The detailed analysis of all potential application modes of space AM in each environment category is carried out. In addition, the research progress of AM in space is described in brief and the key technologies are analyzed in detail in order to provide important reference for the development route of additive manufacturing in space.
