Trade Study - manufacturing method #93

Open Suzibianco opened 5 years ago

Suzibianco commented 5 years ago

Conduct a trade study for manufacturing method considering but not limited to the following parameters:

Method consider solar concentration, laser, electric arc
Mass (kg)
Power (Watt per Kg)
Volume of hardware
Limit product dimensions
Overall accuracy/precision
Final product durability
Rate of fabrication per standard volume (time)
Output Resolution
Thermal tolerance min/max

Constraints for the methods:

Print in Vacuum
Lunar gravity

Use this worksheet for tradestudy.

Please contribute to writing reports on the applicability of different manufacturing methods to Coral in this document.

Relate to #23 and #15
