Global Nominee
MART3D: Where we print our own necessities.
High-Level Project Summary
Our project consists of the design of everyday life necessities for human life to flourish on Mars. For that, we considered the three different printers (plastic, metal, and concrete) and their specifications. The first challenge was to rebuild a Rover's wheel, and for that, we made a 3D design in which all the parts come together as a puzzle without needing screws. In case we want to fix something or build something new, for the tools, we made a design of a universal screwdriver and a Multipurpose Martian Card that is helpful for a lot of things like a tiny saw or ruler. Lastly, we designed a habitat with all the accommodation needed to improve living conditions on the red planet.

Detailed Project Description
The project consists of assembling a habitat on Mars taking into account the climatic, atmospheric, terrestrial conditions and everything related. The idea is to use a 3d printer that can build said habitat, the 3d mart project, builds a 48 square meter habitat with different areas such as a communications room, spacesuit project room, dining room, living room, and others, the software used They are sharp3d, PowerPoint, canva, AutoCAD and Windows Powershell, concrete would also be used on walls, and the construction of tables, chairs, beds, etc.

For the design of the Habitat, we thought of a place where the human being can feel comfortable both for their work area as well as for their daily life during our stay on Mars. The Habitat was designed with the idea of having everything necessary to cope with the meteorological and atmospheric conditions of the red planet as well as to correctly simulate the conditions of terrestrial life in this momentarily uninhabitable environment.
The habitat made entirely of concrete and with a 3D printer is divided into several modules seeking the practicality of activities as well as efficiency in daily work, as well as ensuring the well-being of its inhabitants.
In the case of the wheel of the rover, the aim is to find a design that meets the conditions that fulfill its purpose of replacing the missing one and being able to give the robot a correct use. The assembly of this wheel was achieved using both parts made with the plastic 3D printer as well as with the metal 3D printer, where the wheel only had to be assembled as if it were a puzzle piece.
Regarding the tools and elements of daily use, we prefer practicality above all things. Tools that we can count on at our fingertips and that are of various shapes in a single element, that do not take as much material and are easy to manufacture, such as screwdrivers with several interchangeable parts or of the same shape, utensils kitchen with its interchangeable parts.
Space Agency Data
For the creation of the "Ares V habitat prototype" the resources provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) were used as inspiration to develop the model that we present here, taking as the main pillar the volcanic concrete structures that the CHAPEA project uses to create habitats where future missions to the red planet are recreated and simulated, and making our habitat in this material, or in other case, in martian concrete.
Hackathon Journey
The experience that this hackathon gave each one of us was learning about the areas of specialization of each of our colleagues, about how important it is to work as a team, listen to ideas, work on them and learn above all from others. the rest. Apart from having established relationships between new people with the same goals, making us empathize with each other and form a connection through science.
