RedWorks
In-situ additive construction
Pivoted out of space. Formed to 3D print habitats from Martian and lunar soil, it became a company inside an accelerator in 2017 and refocused on terrestrial construction, dropping the Mars framing from its site during that year. Still operating, and now selling industrial 3D printers. RedWorks operates in the space resources & mining sector of the space industry, is headquartered in United States, was founded in 2017, is self-funded, employs 1-10 people.

Mission
Industrial-scale 3D printers for construction, from a system first designed to print habitats out of Martian soil.
RedWorks is developing an on-site 3d printing system to meet the challenges facing builders today with technology originally created for use in space. RedWorks’ In-Situ Additive Construction (ISAC) Printer will use a 3D printing process that only requires on-site sources of sand/dust/dirt to create materials that can match the strength of existing masonry. Our technology will cut overhead costs, reduce site logistics, and let builders print custom materials without impacting costs or build-time, and with virtually no waste.
